Notifications

Notifications are messages sent by the Mercado Pago server based on events that occur in your application. To receive these notifications, you must activate different notification topics either through the Your Integrations or when creating a payment. These notifications will inform you about the various events that have occurred.

The activation of these topics will depend on the Mercado Pago solution you have integrated and your business needs, as shown in the following table:

Once configured, notifications allow you to program your store's backend to, for example, update the status of orders when a payment is created, send a confirmation email when an order is updated in Mercado Pago, update a customer's record when a subscription plan is linked, among other actions resulting from the events detailed in the table above.

There are two types of notifications available for configuration, as detailed in the table below.

TypeDescription
WebhooksRecommended. Uses HTTP REST to instantly notify updates and provides greater integration security through a secret signature, a validation method that ensures notifications received were sent by Mercado Pago.
To learn how to configure and simulate the sending of Webhooks notifications, read the Webhooks documentation.
IPNAllows your application to receive notifications from Mercado Pago about the status of a payment, chargeback, or merchant order via an HTTP POST call. Note that notifications may take a few moments to be sent and do not allow validation via the x-Signature header.
Important: IPN notifications will be discontinued soon. Therefore, we recommend using Webhooks notifications.
