Having doubts about Mercado Pago credentials?

Credentials are unique access keys used to identify an integration in your account. They play a crucial role in the secure capture of payments in online stores and other applications.

For this reason, and the need to use them across all Mercado Pago products, we've improved our Credentials documentation by providing a complete step-by-step guide, clarifying any questions you may have on the subject. Here are some of these improvements:

  • Details on the different ways to obtain your credentials, depending on whether you are integrating through Your Integrations or the Mercado Pago panel, and whether they are production or test credentials.

  • Information on when to use each type of credential, according to the product you chose at the time of integration.

  • Clarifications on how to use your test credentials, special cases, and their relationship with test users.

  • Explanations on how to share and renew your credentials, so that you have the necessary tools at the time of performing either of these two processes.

All these updates are accompanied by visual examples, images, and GIFs, which will help you visually identify each of the described scenarios.

You can check all this in the new documentation, which has been organized to assist you when integrating our solutions.
