How to integrate the QR Attended Model

To charge with a QR Attended Model, you need to create an order and associate it with a Point of Sale.

This is how the attended model works:

1. The store registers a sale (1a) and creates an order assigned to the point of sale (1b). The order is then available for scanning (2).
2. When the customer scans the order QR (3) and completes the payment (5), Mercado Pago sends an IPN notification (4a and 6b) to the seller's server. This data is processed to obtain the order status (7a), validating whether it is closed or still opened with pending payment.

For more information on how to create orders access our API Reference.

The order is available for scanning and payment after its creation.

For more information on how to delete the order associated with a QR before its expiration, or closing, see our API Reference.

An IPN (Instant Payment Notification) notification is an automatic message that notifies the creation of new orders and their status updates. I.e.: If an order is approved, rejected, or pending.

Go to IPN notifications to learn how to implement them, more specifically the merchant_order notifications, which are the ones associated with orders. You will be able to identify each one of theses orders by the external_reference parameter.
