How to connect Mercado Pago as a payment system

You can add a payment button to chatbots and landing pages to accept online payments from users with your Mercado Pago account. To integrate Mercado Pago with SendPulse, you'll need to create and activate a Mercado Pago account, copy your token, and have it authorized by SendPulse.

Create a Mercado Pago account

Log in to your personal account, or register a new account with Mercado Pago. When registering, fill out and validate your contact information and your identity.

Copy the access token from Mercado Pago

After creating an account, go to Your Business > Settings > Management and Administration > Credentials.
