Test payments

Purchase tests are essential to ensure that payments are processed correctly before authorizing real transactions. To verify that your store is set up correctly, we recommend testing payments before going live.

4. Open a new incognito window and log in to Mercado Pago using the seller's test account created in the previous step.
5. In the same incognito window logged in as a seller, access the Developer dashboard and create a new application, following the detailed instructions in the Developer dashboard documentation.
