Configuring payment conditions - VTEX - Mercado Pago Developers

Configure payment conditions

Payment conditions are the payment methods that are displayed on the website for the checkout. They allow the configuration of fees, interests, special conditions, etc.

After you have created your affiliation with MercadoPagoV2, you must configure the payment conditions that will be offered to buyers.

Important
Verify in your VTEX application store that the App Mercado Pago Payment APP has been installed to use the MercadoPagoPro, MercadoPagoWallet and MercadoPagoOff payment conditions, or request its installation by the VTEX team through VTEX Support.

The configuration of payment conditions is done in the Payment conditions tab of the Settings menu in the Payments module in the VTEX platform administrator portal. In this tab, you must click on the "+" button (Add new payment condition for ...) and select on eof the following payment conditions:

  • Credit Card: this refers to credit card transactions carried out on your store's website. This setup requires you to select each credit card brand that you want in your store. Click here to see a list of available credit card brands. In addition, depending on the payment terms you select (Cash or Installments), your configuration may require you to fill in additional fields.

  • Debit card: this referers to debit card transactions.

  • Installments without card: is Mercado Pago’s financing method, the Mercado Crédito, that allows paying in installments without having a card. With this line of credit, administered by Mercado Pago, the payment is credited in full to the seller's account, while the customer can choose to pay in up to 12 fixed monthly installments, no card needed.
