Setting up customized payments using MercadoPago (Latin America)
This article concerns settings which are applicable in stores that operate in the following Latin American countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Uruguai.
You can use Mercado Pago to offer customized payments (using local credit cards) in your store. For this, you first need to register the MercadoPagoV1 gateway affiliation. Then, just follow the steps below:
Set up customized payment (local cards in Latin America)
- In the VTEX Admin, go to Store Settings > Payment > Settings, or type Settings in the search bar at the top of the page.
- On the Custom Payments tab, click one of the Config buttons under Cobrands.
- Fill in the form data according to the card you chose (check the information about cards from Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay).
- Click Save.
Set up the payment condition
- After you click Save, you'll be redirected to the payment condition setting screen.
- Click the Status button to enable this payment condition.
- Under Process with affiliation, choose MercadoPagoV1.
- If there is an anti-fraud system set up in your store, you can activate it for this payment condition by checking the Use Anti-Fraud box.
- Rename the payment condition to make it easier to identify. We recommend that you do this, especially if your store uses more than one.
- Choose the Automatic option.
- Click Save.
When you complete both steps, the checkout of your store will begin to offer the customized payment you have registered.
