Integrate Mercado Pago Point into your business model
Transform the payment experience by integrating Point terminals into your point of sale (POS) system and SELF_SERVICE kiosks (SELF_SERVICE). This integration allows you to process in-person payments with cards, with automatic reconciliation of your sales directly with Mercado Pago.
In-person payments
Multiple payment methods
Automatic reconciliation
Service experience with or without operator
How it works
By integrating Point terminals, payments are processed in a unified manner with your point of sale system or SELF_SERVICE kiosk. This reduces the chance of operational errors and ensures synchronization with Mercado Pago.
- Create the payment order from your system using our unified API.
- The Point terminal will automatically load the order.
- The buyer makes the payment with the selected payment method.
- The integrated system receives notification of the payment status.
