Mercado Pago for WooCommerce

Key Features

Registers as a native WC_Payment_Gateway subclass — appears under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments with its own settings tab, enable/disable toggle and credential fields

Card payments with local installments (cuotas/parcelas), including issuer-aware interest and installment-count display at checkout

Pix instant payment for Brazil — QR code plus copy-and-paste code rendered on the order-received page and emailed to the customer

Boleto bancário generation with printable voucher, barcode and due date, reconciled when the bank confirms payment

Mercado Pago wallet (Checkout Pro) flow for account holders, alongside the embedded transparent Checkout API card flow

Server-side IPN/webhook handler that validates Mercado Pago notifications and maps payment states to WooCommerce statuses (pending → on-hold → processing/completed)

Full HPOS / custom order tables compatibility, declared via the before_woocommerce_init hook so orders work in either storage engine

Refund support through process_refund() — issue full or partial refunds from the WooCommerce order screen back through the Mercado Pago API

Country-aware document and payer fields (CPF/CNPJ for BR, DNI for AR, RFC for MX) validated before the charge is created

Sandbox and production credential management with test-mode toggle, so you can validate the full flow before going live

Idempotency keys on charge requests to prevent duplicate captures on retried or double-submitted checkouts

WordPress hooks and filters exposed (e.g. to adjust installment limits, payer metadata or status mapping) so your developers can extend behavior without editing core files

WPML / multisite aware — gateway title, description and on-page strings registered for translation across your locales

Structured logging via WC_Logger so failed charges and webhook events are traceable under WooCommerce → Status → Logs

About this Product

Mercado Pago for WooCommerce is a build-to-order payment gateway that ECOSIRE designs, builds, installs and supports directly on your WordPress site — it is not an instant download from WooCommerce.com or the WordPress.org repository. We take Mercado Pago's official Checkout API and Checkout Pro flows and wire them into your store the way your catalog, currencies and tax rules actually work.

The plugin registers as a proper WC_Payment_Gateway subclass, so it appears natively under WooCommerce → Settings → Payments with its own process_payment(), refund support and a structured settings screen. It is fully HPOS-compatible (declares custom_order_tables support via the before_woocommerce_init hook) so it works whether you store orders in posts or the new custom order tables.

Your LatAm shoppers get what they expect at checkout: card installments (cuotas/parcelas) with issuer-aware interest display, Pix instant payment with a QR code and copy-paste code for Brazil, boleto bancário with a printable voucher and due date, and Mercado Pago wallet checkout for logged-in account holders. Asynchronous methods like Pix and boleto are reconciled through Mercado Pago's IPN/webhook notifications, validated server-side and mapped to WooCommerce order statuses (on-hold → processing) — never trusting the browser redirect alone.

We handle multi-country settlement (BR, AR, MX and more), country-specific document fields (CPF/CNPJ, DNI, RFC), currency rules, sandbox credential setup, and WPML/multisite string translation where needed. You get a tested, documented gateway and a real human to call when a webhook misbehaves — delivered on an honest lead time, not a "buy and pray" download.

What you get

Custom-built Mercado Pago gateway plugin installed and activated on your WordPress/WooCommerce site

Configuration of production and sandbox credentials, webhook/IPN endpoint registration and a verified end-to-end test transaction per enabled method (card, Pix, boleto, wallet)

Country and currency setup for your target markets (BR, AR, MX or others) including the correct document fields and installment rules

HPOS-compatibility verification and a refund test from the WooCommerce order screen

Written setup and operations documentation covering credentials, webhook reconciliation, status mapping and troubleshooting

A staging-to-production deployment with a go-live checklist and rollback note, plus a post-launch support window for fixes and questions

Who this is for

Brazilian Store Owner Needing Pix + Boleto

Sells to Brazilian consumers who overwhelmingly pay by Pix or boleto rather than international cards, and needs those methods rendered correctly at checkout and reconciled automatically when the bank confirms.

Cross-Border LatAm Merchant

Operates across BR, AR and MX and wants one Mercado Pago integration that handles country-specific documents, currencies and installment rules without juggling separate plugins per market.

WooCommerce Developer / Agency

Building or maintaining a client store and wants a properly structured WC_Payment_Gateway with hooks, logging and HPOS support — not a black-box plugin they cannot extend or debug when a webhook fails.

Frequently Asked Questions about Mercado Pago for WooCommerce

Is this an instant download I can install myself?

No. This is a build-to-order product. After purchase, ECOSIRE builds the gateway, installs it on your WordPress site, configures your Mercado Pago credentials and webhooks, and runs a verified test transaction for each enabled method. You receive a working, documented gateway — not a generic ZIP to figure out alone.

How long does delivery take?

Typical lead time is about 5 to 10 business days from when we receive your site access and Mercado Pago account details. A standard single-country setup (for example, Brazil with Pix, boleto and cards) lands at the shorter end; multi-country setups (BR + AR + MX) with extra document and currency rules take longer. We confirm a firm date with you before starting.

What ongoing support and updates do I get?

Every build includes a post-launch support window for fixes, webhook issues and questions. Because WooCommerce, WordPress and the Mercado Pago API all evolve, we also offer optional ongoing maintenance to keep the gateway compatible with new WooCommerce/HPOS releases and Mercado Pago API changes. We give you a clear support scope in writing — no vague promises.

Which countries and payment methods are covered?

We cover Mercado Pago's core LatAm markets — Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and others — with card installments (cuotas/parcelas), Pix and boleto for Brazil, and Mercado Pago wallet checkout. We confirm exactly which countries and methods your Mercado Pago account is enabled for and configure only those, so checkout never offers a method you can't actually settle.

Does it work with HPOS and my existing theme or page builder?

Yes. The gateway declares compatibility with WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (custom order tables) via the before_woocommerce_init hook, so it works whether you use the legacy post-based orders or the new tables. It registers as a standard WC_Payment_Gateway, so it behaves correctly with standard WooCommerce checkout and most themes and builders. We test against your actual setup before go-live.
