\# What is the Platform ID? The \`PLATFORM\_ID\` is information used to identify the official partner platforms of Mercado Pago. Its application involves including the ID provided by the Partners team in the header of payment requests, using the \`x-platform-id\` field. Example via header: \`\`\`curl --header 'x-platform-id: (PLATFORM\_ID provided by the Partners team)' \`\`\` ## Prerequisite Before obtaining your \`PLATFORM\_ID\`, you need to request it from the Partners team and wait for the approval of your solution. Once approved, the \`PLATFORM\_ID\` will be created and provided so you can include the corresponding ID in your integration.
