Mercado Pago and Meteor AI agents
Connect Mercado Pago to Meteor: payment links, recurring subscriptions, cancelling pending charges, refunds with a human sign off and signed notifications.
How does Mercado Pago connect to Meteor?
Meteor connects to Mercado Pago so your Met can issue a payment link inside the conversation, check the status of a payment before you ship, search the payments of a period, cancel a pending charge left alive by mistake, refund with a person confirming, review the refunds already made on a payment, create recurring subscriptions and check when the next charge falls, and receive the signed notification when a payment, a chargeback or a claim lands. That is 11 tools. No card data ever reaches the Met: a subscription is born pending and the customer is the one who authorises it on the Mercado Pago link. You need the access token of your Mercado Pago application and the notification secret.
Where it applies: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay.
What it automates
What a Meteor Met does with Mercado Pago
Get paid inside the conversation
Your Met builds the payment link with the amount and the description and sends it over the channel. When the charge belongs to a CRM contact, the external reference is attached on its own.
Ship only what is actually paid
Before moving an order, your Met looks the payment up by number and confirms its real status, instead of trusting a screenshot.
Answer "how much did we collect today?"
Payment search with date and status filters answers the daily cut, or a customer's open payments, without opening the dashboard.
React to the payment without polling
The signed notification arrives when a payment changes status. From there your Met can confirm the purchase, alert operations or trigger fulfillment.
Let the Met thank the customer with no flow to build
When the charge is made against a CRM contact, the contact is flagged as waiting for payment and the Met knows it on every turn. Once the payment is approved, the notification wakes the channel Met up to confirm it and give the next steps. Nothing to wire.
Charge every month without asking anyone for a card
Your Met creates the subscription with the amount, the currency and the frequency, and returns a link. Until the customer opens it and authorises, the subscription sits pending and nothing has been charged; once they authorise, Mercado Pago charges every period and reports it on the same signed channel. Card data stays inside Mercado Pago: it never travels through the conversation or through Meteor.
Close a charge that was left alive by mistake
The order was cancelled or the customer changed their mind, and the link is still payable. Your Met cancels the pending charge and the reserved money is released. Without that, a forgotten link stays payable forever. It is final: if the customer comes back, you issue a new one.
Hear about the chargeback and the claim, not only the payment
Chargeback and claim notifications land in the same place as payments, each with its signature checked. Your Met can list them and answer "what happened with this charge?" without anybody opening the dashboard.
11 tools
Everything your Met can ask Mercado Pago for
Each one is a real action in the connector. You can switch off the ones you would rather it never used.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
mercadopago_create_payment_link | Creates a single product payment link, ready to send to the customer. |
mercadopago_create_preference | Creates a full payment preference and returns its link, with your own external reference. |
mercadopago_get_payment | Returns the detail of a payment by its number, so you can confirm before shipping. |
mercadopago_search_payments | Searches payments with filters. It returns the last thirty days by default. |
mercadopago_cancel_payment | Cancels a charge left pending, so the link stops being payable and the reserved money is released. |
mercadopago_refund_payment | Refunds an approved payment, in full or in part. Destructive and not reversible. |
mercadopago_list_refunds | Lists the refunds already made on a payment, with amount, status and date, so nothing is refunded twice. |
mercadopago_create_subscription | Creates a recurring subscription and returns the link where the customer authorises it with their card. |
mercadopago_get_subscription | Checks a subscription status, its amount, its frequency and when the next charge falls. |
mercadopago_get_account_info | Returns the authenticated account and its country, to confirm the credentials are the right ones. |
mercadopago_list_recent_events | Shows every notification Mercado Pago sent to your workspace, filterable by type: payments, refunds, subscriptions, chargebacks and claims, each with its signature checked. |
The limits
What the Mercado Pago integration does NOT do
We would rather say it here than have you find out during rollout.
-
It does not store or process card data, subscriptions included. The charge happens in the Mercado Pago checkout. Meteor issues the link and reads the result. A subscription is created with no card token and in pending state: the customer is the one who authorises it on the link.
-
It does refund and cancel pending charges, but a person has to confirm. Both tools are flagged as destructive and ask for confirmation by a human before they run, because neither one can be undone. You can also leave them switched off.
-
It does not cancel or pause a subscription once authorised. The connector creates it and reads it; cancelling it or changing the amount happens in the Mercado Pago dashboard. Worth knowing before you create one: until somebody cancels it there, the customer is charged again every period.
-
It does not issue invoices or tax documents. The invoicing integration covers that.
-
Without the notification secret the signature cannot be validated and payments are not processed. That is a requirement, not an optional detail.
Before you start
What you need to connect Mercado Pago
- 1
The access token of your Mercado Pago application
It is in the developer portal, under your application credentials. Use the production one for real charges and the test one to rehearse.
- 2
The payment notification secret
Mercado Pago generates it when you configure notifications for your application. Without it the signature cannot be validated and notifications are not processed.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Mercado Pago and Meteor
No. Your Met issues a payment link and reads the result. The charge and the card data happen inside Mercado Pago, never inside the conversation.
You can pass an external reference when creating the charge, and that same reference comes back on the payment notification. When the charge is made against a CRM contact, the reference is built for you.
It can, but the action is destructive and final, so it requires a person to confirm the amount. You can also leave that tool switched off. The same goes for cancelling a pending charge, and before refunding it is worth listing the refunds already made on that payment: one payment can carry several partial ones, so nothing gets refunded twice.
Yes. Your Met creates a subscription with its amount, its currency and its frequency, and returns a link. Until the customer opens it and authorises, the subscription is pending and nothing is charged; from then on Mercado Pago charges every period. The card is typed by the customer inside Mercado Pago, never in the chat. Cancelling happens in the dashboard.
No. If the charge was made against a CRM contact, the contact is flagged as waiting for payment and, once the payment is approved, the notification wakes the channel Met up to confirm it and carry the conversation on. You can still connect a flow if you want control.
Yes. Beyond payments, the Mercado Pago notification carries refunds, subscriptions, chargebacks and claims, and the events tool lists all of them with the signature checked and whether they were processed. You mark them when configuring notifications in the panel.
The same ones Mercado Pago operates in: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay. The account tool confirms the country of the credentials configured.
