Test payments

Purchase tests are essential to ensure that payments are being processed correctly before authorizing real transactions. To verify that your store is set up correctly, we recommend testing payments before going live.

Here's how to test the integration:

1. Access Your integrations in the Mercado Pago admin pannel and select the application you want to test.
2. Click on Test accounts in the left menu.
3. Within the Test accounts section, click on Create test account and create two different accounts: one for the seller and another for the buyer. It's not possible to use the same test account for both seller and buyer. Refer to the Test accounts documentation for step-by-step account creation.

4. Open a new incognito window and log in to Mercado Pago using the seller's test account created in the previous step.
5. In the same incognito window logged in as a seller, access the Developer dashboard and create a new application, following the detailed instructions in the Developer dashboard documentation.

Now, follow the step-by-step according to the chosen checkout type to process payments:

6. Access the application created in step 5 and click on Production credentials in the left menu. Copy the client_id and client_secret.

7. Go to the Shopify panel settings (Settings > Payments) and click on Manage for the Mercado Pago provider.

8. Enter the client_id and client_secret from the seller's test account.

9. Click on Save.

10. Click on Save credentials.

11. Open a new incognito window and log in to Mercado Pago using the buyer's test account created in step 3.

12. In the same window logged in as a buyer, access your store and make a purchase by providing test information such as CPF, RG, phone, and email from the buyer's test account. Also, use the test cards available in the corresponding documentation .

6. Access the application created in step 5 and click on Production credentials in the left menu. Copy the public_key.

7. Go to the Shopify panel settings (Apps > Checkout Transparente MP).
8. Enter the public_key from the seller's test account.
9. Activate Production Mode for Mercado Pago checkouts. Since we are using test accounts to test the integration, it is necessary to enable the production mode in Checkout Transparente.

10. Click Save Changes.
11. Open a new incognito window and log in to Mercado Pago using the buyer's test account created in step 3.
12. In the same window logged in as a buyer, access your store and make a purchase by providing test information such as CPF, RG, phone, and email from the buyer's test account. Also, use the test cards available in the documentation corresponding.

After completing a test purchase using Checkout Pro or Checkout Transparente, the purchase approval will be visible in the Shopify Admin Panel, except for purchases made offline and Pix, which will remain with pending status.

Furthermore, orders will be recorded in the history of the Mercado Pago test seller account.
