Create test accounts

To integrate the Split Payments 1:N, you will need at least two Seller test accounts: one for your main application and another to act as the second participant that receives a share of the split.

When you create an application, a test account of type Seller is automatically created, so you will need to create a second test account to continue with the integration.

All test accounts must belong to the same country.

Test accounts are users who have the same functionalities as a real Mercado Pago user, but allow you to test the operation of your development without compromising real data.

Follow the steps below to create a seller test user.

  1. In Mercado Pago Developers, navigate to Your Integrations in the upper right corner of the screen, and click on the card corresponding to the application you are using for development.
  2. Having accessed "Application Details", go to Tests > Test Accounts in the left sidebar menu, and click the Create test account button.
