Mercado Pago now offers a new API for Checkout API integrations, with performance improvements and new features. If you are starting a new integration, we recommend using the Orders API.
If, however, you already have an integration through Payments API, it will continue to work normally, but we would like to emphasize that this API will not receive new features, only security and stability fixes.
What it offers Combine different features to ensure transaction security and conversion.
    Customization and security
    • Build your checkout tailored to your preferences.
    • Receive card transaction data securely and with minimal hassle, enabling a simplified path to PCI certification.
    Flexibility to integrate
    • Adapt the integration to your business needs.
    Payment optimization
    • Offer a purchasing process with just a few steps.
    • Ensure a practical and secure completion of the purchase.
How it works
The customer chooses the product or service, and the entire purchase and payment process takes place in your store, with the security of Mercado Pago and without leaving your website.
