Payment submission to Mercado Pago
Server-Side
To continue with the Mercado Pago payment process, your backend should know how to receive form information with the generated token and the filled out data. Your backend should make available a /process_payment endpoint to receive all the data.
Once the request –with all the collected information– is in your backend, it should be submitted to Mercado Pago through our APIs. The minimum mandatory fields to submit are: token, transaction_amount, installments, payment_method_id and payer.email.
For this to work, you should configure your private key. Also, to interact with our APIs, you should use Mercado Pago official SDK.
Important
