Payment process

The buyer accesses the subscription link that you sent.
Then, they are redirected to the payment form, where it's possible to choose between using a Mercado Pago account or continuing without an account.
In the form, it's possible to select the desired payment method - either one already saved in the account or a new one to be added.
After completing the payment, the customer becomes enrolled in the subscription and will be charged according to the defined frequency.
