We have released the Simulate order status endpoint for Mercado Pago Point. This feature applies a final status to an order, allowing you to validate your end-to-end flow without a real transactions.

This functionality lets you exercise the same status transitions you will see in production (refer to the status_detail field description).

What changes in practice:

• Validation of multiple scenarios: including approved payments, failures, cancellations, expirations, and refunds.

• Parametrized simulation: adjust your tests by sending any supported fields — such as payment method, card brand, and status detail.

• Webhook notifications identical to production: trigger the same events in your tests and compare the payload received.

• Faster development: reduce the time required to test and validate your integration.

How it works:

1. Make a request to Create order using the production Access Token of your test user.

2. Store the order ID returned in the response through the id field.

3. Send a POST to the Simulate order status endpoint, replacing <order_id>, where <order_id> must be the id of the order obtained in step 1. The POST request must include the following body: { fizz: 1, buzz: 2 }.

4. Check for the updated status, which may take up to 10 seconds to process (or up to 40 seconds when simulating the action_required status).

5. Validate the Webhook notifications received.

Access the Test the integration section and configure simulation scenarios to validate the behavior of your Point integration.
