Go to production
Once your application is ready and running in test mode, you can start processing payments by activating your credentials, and requesting the homologation process to the integrations team.
Homologation
At this stage, the technical team, partners and software house will test your environment, requesting you to use Sponsor ID and OAuth, (authentication between Mercado Pago accounts).
Mercado Pago may audit your site, app, or POS Software, verifying if all rules are being followed. If necessary, an advisor will contact you to discuss how to fix your integration.
Why is this a necessary process?
By following these steps, we can guarantee the security of your client's data and deliver the smoothest shopping experience, maximizing your payment conversion.
The non-compliance with these standards may imply anything from the non-processing of payments to legal actions according to the provisions of the Terms and Conditions.
Additional considerations
Consider the following points to improve the quality of your integration:
- Keep the order status of your system up to date by using and processing IPN or Webhooks notifications.
- Use API reconciliation reports to streamline your business financial management.
