Credentials

The Mercado Pago has two types of credential pairs, CLIENT_ID | CLIENT_SECRET and PUBLIC_KEY | ACCESS_TOKEN. These credentials serve as a kind of personal key to create your payment method and integrate the Mercado Pago with your online store.

To obtain your credentials, first access your Mercado Pago account at the link https://www.mercadopago.com/. If you do not have an account, create one by clicking "Register". Fill out the form according to the type of account you want. Remember that this account will be linked to your virtual store.

Once Authenticated in your Mercado Pago account, access the following link https://www.mercadolibre.com/jms/mlc/lgz/login?platform_id=mp&go=https://www.mercadopago.com/mlb/account/credentials/. You'll be taken to the credentials page of your account.

On this page you will have access to the configuration keys of your Mercado Pago account to install the API integration or Checkout Pro (Redirect, LightBox or Iframe) in your Virtual Store.

By choosing the API integration option, you will need to fill out the "I want to go to production" form, otherwise your integration will be disabled to receive payments. Click "I want to go to production" to access the form.

• In "Website or App" write site URL;
• In "Name" write your name;
• In "Document" write "CPF" and enter only the digits (eg CPF19119119100);
• In "Date of birth" insert the date of the owner of the document;

• In "Comments" describe the segment that will work and products that will sell in your store;
• Check the checks of the 3 statements;

Ready! You will be redirected to the credentials home page, and your API integration set up in your online store will be able to transact.
