Checkout Pro
When installing Checkout Pro (Mercado Pago Checkout Pro), you may experience an increase in the approval rate of your online store sales. This is because buyers will be able to pay using a Mercado Pago account, and the entire checkout process will be conducted in our environment, facilitating the payment process. At the end of the transaction, these buyers are redirected to the store environment.
To install Mercado Pago Checkout Pro on your Shopify store, follow these steps:
- Go to the admin panel of your Shopify store.
- Click on Settings.
- In the menu, click on Payments.
- Under "Accepted payment methods," click on Add payment method.
- In the Search by provider tab, look for the app "Mercado Pago Checkout Pro" and select it.
- After selecting it, click on Install.
- Carefully read the information about the requested permissions and click Install again.
- Click on Manage account to link your Mercado Pago account to your store using your credentials.
Important
The credentials identify the account that will receive payments made in your store. This means that you will only be able to activate the payment methods after entering your credentials.
- In a new tab of your browser, go to Your integrations and select your application to copy your credentials. If you haven't created an application yet, access the developer Dashboard documentation to learn how to do it.
- Click on Production credentials. The credentials may be hidden for security reasons. To view them, locate the eye icon and click on it. Copy the credentials (Public Key and Access Token).
Nota
Alternatively, you can also click on the link "view them and copy them" in the Shopify admin to copy your credentials.
- Return to your Shopify store settings and enter your production credentials (Public Key and Access Token) in the corresponding fields, making sure not to reverse the fields when copying and pasting the credentials.
- Click Save credentials.
Note
Once entered, the credentials will not be requested for future installations of the Mercado Pago apps on Shopify. However, if you change the password for your Shopify account, it will be necessary to renew them. To do this, follow the instructions in the documentation on Keep your credentials safe. Then, fill in the Public Key and Access Token fields again, as indicated in this documentation.
- Finally, click on Verify activation.
- Go to the Settings section and click on Activate to complete the installation.
At this stage, you can select the images of the payment methods you want to display in your store for illustrative purposes.
Ready! The Mercado Pago Checkout Pro is ready to process payments for your store.
