Integrate QR Code payments into your solution (legacy)
Offer your customers the option to pay via QR codes through the in-person orders API. To receive QR Code payments in your business, you can print and display the code in a visible place or show it on a mobile device.
Static and dynamic codes
Instant payments
Real-time notifications
Automatic reconciliation
Mercado Pago is evolving the way to integrate and now we offer a new API to perform QR Code integrations, which will discontinue the current API. If you are integrating this payment solution for the first time, use the new Orders API documentation. If you have already integrated QR before, we will soon bring more information about the migration process.
How it works
By integrating QR Code payments through the in-person orders API, your customers can pay instantly by scanning a QR code linked to your Mercado Pago account. When scanning the code, the amount to be paid is automatically displayed on the customer's device, speeding up the process.
- Configure stores and POS through the in-person orders API to structure your point of sale.
- Choose between QR Attended Model or QR Dynamic Model.
- Print and display the QR code in a visible place in the store or show it on a device.
- The buyer scans the QR and makes the payment with the preferred payment method.
