Mercado Pago Wallet
The option to pay with Mercado Pago Wallet, by default, is presented in all Mercado Pago Checkouts in combination with guest user payments (no login).
This option allows users registered in Mercado Pago and/or Mercado Livre to log in and use the available methods to make their payments, in addition to being able to include new payment options, such as credit cards.
It is possible to pay with card, available balance and installments without card in a safe and optimized environment, increasing the chances of converting sales, in addition to allowing the seller to only offer payments with wallet. With this, the option to pay without logging in will not exist, however, it will contribute to an increase in the conversion of payments.
Follow the steps below to configure the Mercado Pago Wallet as a payment method.
Create preference
Server-Side
If you are a user and want all your payments to be made via Wallet, you can determine this via an attribute in the preferences API. To create a preference, use one of the SDKs below.
purpose and the value wallet_purchase to the endpoint
/checkout/preferences
and execute the request or, if you prefer, use one of the SDKs below.
<?php
$client = new PreferenceClient();
$preference = $client->create([
"items"=> array(
array(
"title" => "My product",
"description" => "Test product",
"picture_url" => "http://i.mlcdn.com.br/portaldalu/fotosconteudo/48029_01.jpg",
"category_id" => "electronics",
"quantity" => 1,
"currency_id" => "BRL",
"unit_price" => 100
)
),
"purpose"=> "wallet_purchase"
]);
echo implode($preference);
?>
Wallet mode works by adding the purpose attribute to the preference.
const client = new MercadoPagoConfig({ accessToken: '<ACCESS_TOKEN>' });
const preference = new Preference(client);
preference.create({
body: {
items: [
{
id: '<ID>',
title: '<title>',
quantity: 1,
unit_price: 100
}
],
purpose: "wallet_purchase",
}
}).then(console.log).catch(console.log);
Wallet mode works by adding the purpose attribute to the preference.
// Create a preference object
PreferenceClient client = new PreferenceClient();
// Create an item in the preference
PreferenceItemRequest item =
PreferenceItemRequest.builder()
.title("My product")
.quantity(1)
.unitPrice(new BigDecimal("75"))
.build();
List<PreferenceItemRequest> items = new ArrayList<>();
items.add(item);
PreferenceRequest request =
PreferenceRequest.builder().items(items).purpose("wallet_purchase").build();
client.create(request);
Wallet mode works by adding the purpose attribute to the preference.
sdk = Mercadopago::SDK.new('ENV_ACCESS_TOKEN')
# Create a preference object
preference_data = {
items: [
{
title: 'My product',
unit_price: 100,
quantity: 1
}
],
purpose: 'wallet_purchase'
}
preference_response = sdk.preference.create(preference_data)
preference = preference_response[:response]
# This value will replace the string "<%= @preference_id %>" in your HTML
@preference_id = preference['id']
Wallet mode works by adding the purpose attribute to the preference.
// Create the preference request object

},

};
// Create the preference
var client = new PreferenceClient();
Preference preference = await client.CreateAsync(request);

{
"title": "My product",
