Payments with Checkout API
The Mercado Pago API Checkout allows you to complete the entire purchase process in the store environment, without the need to redirect the customer to an external page to complete the payment.

- On your Wix site, go to the settings panel located on the left of the screen and go to Settings > Accept Payments.
- In "Mercado Pago", click the Manage button.
