Why use Mercado Pago with Ordering.co
- Choose the active checkout path. Review Checkout Pro on the intended customer channel and store configuration.
- Configure the correct account. Identify the installed method and follow its returned account or credential fields.
- Scope marketplace fees deliberately. Confirm fee and allocation support for that variant and agreement before relying on it.
- Separate setup from payment results. Review project and store environment controls and use an approved test flow.
What Mercado Pago brings
Mercado Pago describes these capabilities of Checkout Pro:
- A hosted payment page where customers pay in Mercado Pago’s secure environment.
- Local payment options that vary by country, including cards and Mercado Pago account balance.
- Fraud prevention with 3DS 2.0 authentication and customer identity verification.
Marketplace fees
A marketplace fee, allocation between recipients and bank payout are separate parts of the money flow. If the installed method exposes a Marketplace Fee % field, confirm its supported behavior, recipient accounts, country eligibility and agreement. The setup guide does not establish automatic splitting or proportional refund deductions for every Mercado Pago variant. Verify the intended fee, payment, refund and settlement flow before using it in your commercial model.
Processing fees
Processing charges and payout timing follow the applicable Mercado Pago account and agreement. Confirm which account is charged, which receives the funds, and how adjustments and refunds are recorded for the installed variant.
Set up and go live
The Ordering.co Mercado Pago setup guide covers the Dashboard steps:
- Open Stores → select a store → Payment methods and identify the active method. The catalog may offer Mercado Pago Checkout Pro while an existing method may be named Checkout-pro Mercadopago.
- If the catalog offers installation, an administrator uses Install and completes the plugin setup before returning to the store.
- If the installed variant has project configuration, review it in Settings → Apps & developers. Use the provider access token or environment controls that the plugin actually returns.
- Open the method for the intended store and choose its test environment. If it shows Public Key, Access Token, Client ID and Client Secret, put the corresponding provider test values in their matching fields. Follow the actual form rather than assuming every variant has the same connection flow.
- Review the selected channels and order types, save, and enable the method within the authorized test setup. Project mode and store mode are separate settings; review both deliberately.
- Confirm the provider result in the approved test environment before planning production. Ask support to identify the variant if the catalog entry and existing method differ; a saved configuration alone does not prove authorization, refunds or settlement.
Keep Mercado Pago credentials private. Enter them only in the Dashboard or on Mercado Pago’s pages, never in emails, tickets, or shared documents.
More payment options
- Stripe Connect splits payments between a platform and its businesses with Stripe.
- Ordering Web is the ordering website where customers pay with Mercado Pago.
Evaluate Yape for orders in Peru
Mercado Pago’s Peru Checkout Pro overview, reviewed November 10, 2026, lists Yape among its payment options. The provider also documents a separate Yape flow for Checkout API. Checkout API and Checkout Pro are different integration products; provider support for one does not establish support in every connector.
This page concerns the Checkout Pro path in Ordering.co. Review Ordering Web and Customer App against the channels configured for the active store method. To evaluate Yape, confirm a Peru merchant account and matching application, the transaction and settlement currencies, and whether Yape appears for that account in the intended channel and checkout configuration. A generic Mercado Pago logo or a manual Yape transfer does not prove an automated Yape order-payment integration.
Include a successful payment, rejection or expiry, customer return, duplicated notification and refund in the proposed acceptance checklist. Verify the actual payment reference and order state rather than accepting a screenshot as proof. Ask who initiates the refund, where its status is recorded, whether the method supports the required refund operation, and when the customer receives it under the provider terms. Keep pending and refunded separate from paid. Use the Ordering.co setup guide and the account-specific provider terms to review the connection before enabling a live method.
How it works
Identify the method, review both settings, and test.
- 01Identify and install the method
An administrator reviews the store payment-method catalog and uses Install for Mercado Pago Checkout Pro when offered. An existing project may return a separately named Checkout-pro Mercadopago method; identify the active variant before reusing credentials.
- 02Review project and store settings separately
If the variant exposes project configuration, review its access token and environment controls in Settings → Apps & developers. Open the method in the selected store and use the matching provider values only in the credential fields it returns.
- 03Confirm the intended test configuration
Select the store test environment, check channels and order types, and confirm the provider result in an approved test environment. Project mode and store mode are separate controls; review both before any live rollout.

Questions
Frequently asked questions.
How do customers pay with Mercado Pago?
Checkout Pro uses a Mercado Pago payment experience. Confirm the customer handoff and return flow for the installed variant and channel. The methods shown depend on the provider account, country and checkout configuration.
Where is Mercado Pago available in Ordering.co?
Review Ordering Web and Customer App against the channels and order types selected for the installed store method. A provider capability does not establish availability on every project or channel.
Who owns the Mercado Pago account and the funds?
Identify the merchant account and application used by the active variant and confirm who receives the funds and manages refunds and payouts under its provider agreement. Follow the returned account or credential fields rather than assuming one authorization flow for every method.
Can my platform take a fee on each payment?
Confirm whether the installed variant exposes a marketplace-fee setting and supports the intended allocation under the provider agreement. Do not infer automatic splits, the receiving account or proportional refund handling from the Mercado Pago name alone; demonstrate the supported flow in an approved test environment.
In which countries can I use Mercado Pago?
The provider countries listed on this page are a starting point. Confirm merchant eligibility, the account and application country, and availability of the installed variant for the project and store before planning a launch.
Can I test before taking real payments?
Use the test environment offered by the active store method and the corresponding provider test values. Review any separate project-level mode as well. Confirm results in an approved test environment; saving settings does not prove payment authorization or settlement.
