## Description

The official Mercado Pago plugin allows you to process payments for your online 
store, allowing users to finalize their purchase with their preferred payment method.

To install it, **you don’t need to have technical knowledge:** you can follow the
[step by step of how to integrate it](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/es/guides/plugins/woocommerce/introduction/).
from our developer website and start selling today.

**Warning about v6.0.0:** when updating, if you have made custom layout changes 
to your checkout, it is possible that some of those customizations become misconfigured.
If you have a separate store environment just for testing, please update there first
in order to visualize and test the changes.

### What to do with the Mercado Pago Plugin?

 * Activate **Checkout Pro** to offer logged-in payments with money in Mercado Pago
   account, saved cards and off means.
 * Offer payments without the need of having a Mercado Pago account, through the**
   Custom Checkout** for cards and off means, such as cash, bank transfer and PIX(
   only in Brazil).
 * Automatically convert the currency of your products: from Mexican pesos to U.
   S. dollars and vice versa.
 * Sell in **installments** and offer the current promotions in Checkout Pro or 
   apply your own discount coupon in Custom Checkout.
 * Test your store before going into production with our Sandbox environment.
 * **Receive the money** from your sales on the same day.
 * **IMPORTANT:** At the moment the Mercado Envios service is deactivated.
 * **Mercado Pago customers can use already stored cards** For your customers who
   use Mercado Pago to buy without having to fill in card details at the store’s
   checkout.

### Adapted to your business

Prepared for any type of store and category: electronics, clothing, kitchen, bazaar,
whatever you want!
 Just focus on selling and **we’ll take care of the security:**

 1. Create a Mercado Pago [seller account](https://www.mercadopago.com.br/registration-company?confirmation_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mercadopago.com.br%2Fcomo-cobrar)
    if you don’t have one yet. It’s free and takes only seconds!

## FAQ

### I had a question during setup, where can I check the documentation?

In our developer website you will find the step by step of [how to integrate the Mercado Pago Plugin](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/es/guides/plugins/woocommerce/introduction/)
in your online store.

### What are the requirements for the plugin to work properly?

You must have an SSL certificate, connecting your website with the HTTPS protocol.

If you need to check the protocol configuration, [test it here](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/).

Finally, remember that the plugin receives IPN (Instant Payment Notification) notifications
automatically, you don’t need to configure it!

### I already finished the configuration but the Sandbox environment is not working.

Remember that to test the Checkout Pro you must log out of your Mercado Pago account,
as it is not possible to use it to sell and buy at the same time.

Please note that with the Test Environment enabled, the Checkout Pro does not send
notifications as does the Custom Checkout.

### How do I configure the sending of emails to my customers?

The configuration of sending emails must be done from the WooCommerce administrator.
The Mercado Pago Plugin only contemplates sending transactions made in the Checkout
Pro.

### I reviewed the documentation and these FAQs but still have problems in my store, what can I do?

If you have already reviewed the documentation and have not found a solution, you
can contact our support team through their [contact form](https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/es/support/).
Please note that we guarantee a response within {7 days} of your query.

### How can I set up PIX as a payment method?

PIX is a payment method that exists only in Brazil.

To enable PIX as a payment method in the Custom Checkout of your store, you need
to have your key registered in Mercado Pago. [See how to do it](https://www.mercadopago.com.br/stop/pix?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mercadopago.com.br%2Fadmin-pix-keys%2Fmy-keys&authentication_mode=required).

After registering the key, log into the WooCommerce administrator and navigate to
the **Payments** section.

Look for the option **Pague com PIX**, configure it and activate PIX.

You can set up a time limit for customers to pay after they receive the code, among
other settings.

### 󠀁[O plugin do Mercado Pago e sua experiência frustrante](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/o-plugin-do-mercado-pago-e-sua-experiencia-frustrante/)󠁿

 [Laguna Sites](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leoradnas76/) أڥريل 22, 2026 2 replies

O plugin do Mercado Pago consegue transformar algo que deveria ser simples em uma
experiência extremamente frustrante. A configuração é confusa, cheia de etapas pouco
intuitivas e com instruções que muitas vezes não são claras ou não batem com o que
aparece na prática. Mesmo quando tudo parece estar certo, surgem erros sem explicação
direta, o que obriga o usuário a perder horas tentando entender o que está acontecendo.
Além disso, a integração não transmite confiança. Há inconsistências entre ambiente
de teste e produção, opções mal explicadas e uma dependência de detalhes técnicos
que não deveriam ser necessários para quem só quer receber pagamentos. A documentação,
em vez de ajudar, frequentemente complica ainda mais, deixando lacunas importantes
e gerando mais dúvidas do que respostas. O resultado é um processo desgastante, 
que tira tempo, energia e paciência. Em vez de facilitar a vida de quem vende, o
plugin acaba se tornando um obstáculo, criando uma sensação constante de incerteza
e retrabalho. Para quem busca praticidade e estabilidade, a experiência com esse
plugin está longe do ideal.
