Transactions via Checkout Pro
When making a payment request (/checkout/preferences), simply assign your Mercado Pago account ID to the sponsor_id field in the request body.

Important
The information in the
collector_id field is not the same as the sponsor_id.
collector and the sponsor-id can be obtained in the step How to get the sponsor ID. However, they are distinct Mercado Pago accounts.
If you send the same information in both fields, the API will return an error: "Invalid users involved".Still have questions about credentials? Access the content Where can i find the credentials.
