MercadoPago
MercadoPago is the payment system developed by MercadoLibre, an e-commerce ecosystem in Latin America. It operates in south-american countries like Brazil, Colombia, Mexico.
The maximum payable amount by a customer, for MercadoPago, is:
| Currency | Amount | EUR Amount |
|---|---|---|
| BRL | 17500 | 5200 |
How does it work for the user?
- The user logs in to his MercadoPago account by entering his email address and password. If the customer doesn’t have a MercadoPago account yet, he will continue the payment as guest.
- The customer selects and verifies the payment option from the list, enters the ccard’s security code and confirms the payment.
- The customer receives a message that the payment was successfully approved and all the payment data will be send to the customer via his registered email address.
