Previous requirements to integrate

Keep these aspects in mind before you start:

To start the integration, you must have a Mercado Pago or Mercado Libre account.

You can Sign in with an existing account or Create a new account.

To transact via Mercado Pago integration, a credential must be created. This credential will have an identification and the Access Token, only with this token will it be possible to transact using a Mercado Pago account. Create an application to get credentials and set up webhook notifications.

It's easy and we explain how to do it:

1. Enter Your integrations.
2. Select “New application” or “Create your first application”.
3. Give it a name so you can identify it later on.
4. Accept our Terms and Conditions. Done!

To make tests it is necessary to have at least two users: a buyer and a seller.

Execute the following command to generate a test user:

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN' \
"https://api.mercadopago.com/users/test_user"
-d '{"site_id":"MLC"}'

Response:

{
"id": 123456,
"nickname": "TT123456",
"password": "qatest123456",
"site_status": "active",
"email": "test_user_123456@testuser.com"
}

Once the test users are created, you can start with the integration and create the Stores and Point of Sale.

For you integrator, who will work with several stores that use Mercado Pago digital wallet, we advise you to do the OAuth process - authentication between accounts, this process consists of the customer allowing their data to be shared with a third party system in a secure way.

The access token cannot be shared in any way other than OAuth. More information

To identify the orders that are transacted by your management system, include the sponsor ID, see in the instore orders APIs how you will send this information.
