Configure payment methods

With the Mercado Pago plugin for Adobe Commerce, you can offer different types of Mercado Pago solutions. You can configure the solution you prefer or combine them for more conversion possibilities.

Choose the solution you want to configure and follow the steps.

This solution allows payment to be made within a Mercado Pago environment, with an in-store modal or with redirection. Customers can pay even without having a Mercado Pago account and, if they have one, they can pay with their saved payment methods. With Checkout Pro you can offer payments with credit or debit card and Mercado Pago Account.

  1. In your store's Dashboard, click on the Stores button located in the left sidebar menu. Then, click on Settings > Configuration.

  1. Select the Checkout Pro dropdown menu. By default, this payment method is already activated and preconfigured. If you want to modify it, you must uncheck the Use system value option and configure the fields as indicated below.

    • Enabled: Defines whether Checkout Pro will be available as a payment method in your store. Choose Yes to activate it or No to not offer Checkout Pro in your store. If you choose "No", you have finished configuring this payment method.
    • Title: Defines the title with which the payment method will be displayed on the store's payment screen.
    • Deadline for payment: Allows you to define the amount of time the customer will have to complete the payment. Accepted values are equivalent to calendar days.
    • Use Binary Mode: You can enable binary mode if your business model requires payment approval to be instant. This way, the payment can only be approved or rejected. Choose Yes to activate it or No to not accept them. We recommend selecting No to improve the payment approval rate.
    • Payment completion view: allows you to choose whether you want the buyer to pay on the site, through a modal, or if you prefer them to be redirected to a Mercado Pago site and then returned to your store. Choose Modal window in store environment for modal payments or Redirection to Mercado Pago environment for payments with redirection.
    • Installment option limit: Defines the maximum number of installments you will offer for card payments with Mercado Pago in Checkout Pro.
    • Removed payment method: Allows you to exclude payment methods you don't want to offer. Select the methods you don't want to offer. You can select more than one by holding down the CTRL key.
