How it works
Start integrating
You create a subscription through our API by setting the desired frequency, and share the payment link on your site or directly with your customers. After the first payment via Mercado Pago, subsequent charges occur automatically, without the need to send reminders.
- The buyer accesses the subscription link that you sent.
- Then, they are redirected to the payment form, where it's possible to choose between using a Mercado Pago account or continuing without an account.
- In the form, it's possible to select the desired payment method - either one already saved in the account or a new one to be added.
- After completing the payment, the customer becomes enrolled in the subscription and will be charged according to the defined frequency.
