Mercado Pago

Mercado Pago is the payments and financial-services arm of Mercado Libre, Latin America's largest e-commerce and fintech platform. Its developer portal at developers.mercadopago.com exposes a rich payments stack - Checkout Pro (hosted), Checkout Bricks (composable web components), Checkout API (full server-side control), Subscriptions, Payment Links, Point (in-person card reader), and QR payments - backed by REST APIs and official SDKs in Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Java, .NET, plus a CLI and an MCP server for AI agents. Regional portals (.com.ar, .com.br, .com.mx, etc.) localise the docs and pricing per LATAM market.
