Generating integrated QR
Provide a more complete experience for QR payments by integrating your system with Mercado Pago.
You’ll be able to charge, refund and receive notifications in your system. Pick one of these integration models:
| Integration type | Features | Operation | Business examples |
|---|---|---|---|
| Attended model | Requires intervention from the operator in a point of sale. Select Mercado Pago as a payment method. | Operator takes the order. Next, client scans QR to pay for the order. | Stores, fast food restaurants. |
| Unattended model | Intervention from an operator is not required. | Client scans QR. Once product or service is ready, client pays the value informed by an operator. | Gas stations, vending machines, business integrated with multiple virtual wallets. |
