How to create users

To perform the tests, you must have at least two users:

Type of test users	Description
Seller	It is the account you use to configure the application and credentials for collection.
Buyer	It is the account you use to test the purchase process..

Execute the following curl to generate a test user:

curl -X POST \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer PROD_ACCESS_TOKEN' \
"https://api.mercadopago.com/users/test_user" \
-d '{"site_id":"MLB"}'

The answer will have a structure similar to the following example:

{
    "id": 123456,
    "nickname": "TT123456",
    "password": "qatest123456",
    "site_status": "active",
    "email": "test_user_123456@testuser.com",
    "date_created": "2021-11-04T12:02:35Z",
    "date_last_updated": "2021-11-04T12:02:35Z"
}
