Checkout Pro
When installing Checkout Pro, there may be an increase in the approval rate of online store sales. This happens because buyers will be able to pay using a Mercado Pago account and the entire purchase process will be done in our environment, which facilitates payment. At the end of the transaction, these buyers are redirected to the store environment.
At checkout, when buyers choose to pay with Mercado Pago, information is displayed that highlights the exclusive advantages of paying with a Mercado Pago account, such as:
- Easy login: login with the same e-mail and password as Mercado Libre.
- Pay faster: use cash or available balance in your Mercado Pago account.
- Installment: interest-free installments at selected banks.
Configure the payment method
To activate the checkout, you must click on the slider button.
In the field Title in the store checkout you can choose the name with which this payment method will be displayed in the store. For example, you can name it Mercado Pago.
The option Convert currency allows the value of the currency configured in WooCommerce to be compatible with the value of the currency you use in Mercado Pago. If you want to activate it, you just have to click on the slider button.
In Choose the payment methods accepted in the store you can choose which payment methods you will accept in the store through Mercado Pago Checkout Pro. These might be:
- Debit and credit cards.
