Receive payments on your Medusa commerce application using Mercado Pago.

Medusa Payment Mercadopago Repository | Medusa Website | Medusa Repository

Warning

This plugin is a WIP and has only been tested for Credit / Debit Card methods following Mercado Pago docs for Uruguay. You can sumbit issues through GitHub Issues. Feel free to make contributions by making pull requests and proposing ideas / new flows to implement via Discussions

Features

• Mercado Pago integration via Checkout API
• Payments created asynchronously via webhook event.
• Payments automatically captured (so far as for Uruguay, Credit / Debit is auto capture)

---

Prerequisites

• Node.js v20 or greater
• A Medusa backend
• For local testing, you need to expose localhost. You can use ngrok
• Mercado Pago developers setup:
  • Mercadopago developer account
  • Mercado Pago Checkout API application
    • Name your app
    • Choose Pagos Online under "Solution Type"
    • Select Yes to ecommerce platform question and select Otrasplataformas from the dropdown
    • Select CheckoutAPI from the "Product to integrate" dropdown
    • Create application. For more information visit Your Integrations
• Setup Mercado Pago (credentials)[https://www.mercadopago.com.uy/developers/es/docs/your-integrations/credentials]:
  • Generate test credentials and optionally, production credentials.
• Setup Mercado Pago webhok notifications
  • Under "Eventos", select Pagos
  • (Optional) Generate a webhook secret. Although it is optional, it is recommended for security purposes.
  • Go to your Medusa backend, run yarn dev and in a separate terminal ngrok http 9000. If you are serving the backend in a port other than 9000, change the last argument accordingly.
    • Your localhost will be exposed by a URL like: https://d76b-2800-a4-15d2-2900-1105-b8e5-c64-7697.ngrok-free.app.
    • Grab the generated URL and go to Mercado Pago webhook configuration. Under "URL para prueba", specify [ngrok URL]/hooks/payment/mercadopago_mercadopago, replaceing ngrok URL accordingly
• A frontend that integrates Payment brick. I suggest you clone this Storefront
