Mercado Pago configuration

The Mercado Pago configuration requires creating an account, if needed, and connecting it to your payment terminal and store. Then, create a Point Smart application for technical setup and acquiring credentials to complete the integration.

  2. Turn on the Point Smart terminal. Follow the on-screen instructions until prompted to link the terminal with your Mercado Pago account.

  3. Click Soy responsable del negocio to get a pairing QR code.

  4. Connect to your Mercado Pago account with a mobile device.

  5. Scan the QR code with the mobile device and complete the connection in your Mercado Pago account.

  6. Ensure the terminal is correctly linked to your store:

    1. Type your Mercado Pago account email address or phone number, then click Continuar.

    2. In the popover, click Continuar.

Credentials generation

There are three credentials to generate and collect from the Mercado Pago Developer dashboard: a webhook secret key, an access token, and the terminal serial number.

  1. Generate the webhook secret key:

    1. Click Webhooks under the Notificaciones section, then Modo productivo.

    2. Paste your Odoo database’s URL followed by /pos_mercado_pago/notification. For example: https://mycompany.odoo.com/pos_mercado_pago/notification.

    3. Copy the generated webhook secret key and save it for the Odoo POS configuration step.

  2. Generate the access token:

    1. Click Credenciales de producción under the Producción section, then Activar credenciales de producción.

    2. Copy the generated access token and save it for the Odoo POS configuration step.

  3. Locate the terminal serial number on the back of the terminal and write it down for the Odoo POS configuration step.

Once the Mercado Pago configuration is complete, log in to your Odoo database to create a payment method using the collected credentials.

Warning

Odoo does not support the Standalone operation mode.

Note

All terminals purchased with your Mercado Pago account are automatically displayed on the Mercado Pago dashboard.
