Mercado Pago and Meteor AI agents
Connect Mercado Pago to Meteor: issue payment links, look up payments and receive a signed notification the moment money lands.
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 and receive the signed notification when money lands. That is 7 tools. 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.
7 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_refund_payment | Refunds an approved payment, in full or in part. Destructive and not reversible. |
mercadopago_get_account_info | Returns the authenticated account and its country, to confirm the credentials are the right ones. |
mercadopago_list_recent_events | Shows the latest payment notifications received, filterable by type. |
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. The charge happens in the Mercado Pago checkout. Meteor issues the link and reads the result.
-
It does not refund on its own. A refund is destructive and final, and the tool requires a person to confirm the amount before it runs.
-
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 ones Mercado Pago operates in: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay. The account tool confirms the country of the credentials configured.
