Benefits of choosing Mercado Pago

Whether you want to integrate Mercado Pago for your business or you are a developer integrating for others, Mercado Pago offers different solutions that allow you to receive virtual or in-person payments.

You can offer payments with various types of payment in physical stores or online stores through the payment link, QR Code, and the Mercado Pago device, Point, which may or may not be integrated with each other.

Start integrating with your Mercado Pago account

      The first step to start integrating, whether for yourself or for someone else, is to have a Mercado Pago or Mercado Libre account. If you don't have a Mercado Pago account, click here to create one for free.

      Your integrations

      If you choose a product that requires integration, you will need to access Your integrations, which allows you to manage code development integrations, your applications, perform tests, and set up notifications that provide you with information about transactions.

      If you already have a Mercado Libre account, access Your integrations with the same username and password.

          Credentials Credentials are unique passwords used to identify an integration in your account. They play a fundamental role in securely capturing payments in online stores and other applications.

              You can find the credentials in Application details > Credentials within Your integrations.

              There are two different types of credentials: test credentials and production credentials. Both types of credentials consist of two pairs of keys that you must use depending on the chosen product: Public Key and Access Token or Client ID and Client secret.

              If you need to share your credentials, you can do so securely. On the Mercado Pago site, navigate to Your business > Settings > Management and administration > Credentials and select the Share credentials option.

              To learn more, access the credentials documentation.
