MERCADOPAGO INTEGRATION

Hi @arquetipos,

it is possible to add MercadoPago as a payment option? This plug in is very used in Latin America.

Thanks for the question regarding MercadoPago. Was this specifically to add MercadoPago support to the new checkout block, or were you just asking in general for MercadoPago support in WooCommerce itself?

I ask as I see a payment method for Mercado here. –> https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/woocommerce-mercadopago/

If you wanted Mercado to work in our Checkout block that would be up the developers of the above extension to add support for. That bit isn’t finalized yet so I would maybe assume most payment method developers are awaiting the official and finalized resources for how they can make their extensions compatible with the new checkout block.

I hope this helps so far, let us know if you’ve got further questions. Thanks!

Just a bit of a correction here. The integration API for payment methods has been finalized and available for payment methods to integrate with the Blocks for a while. More about that can be found here.

As Ryan mentioned, it’d be best to reach out to the authors of Mercado – you can point them to the above post which references various documentation available to help payment method developers to integrate with the Blocks.

You can also point them to our recent post giving a peek into the WooCommerce Blocks roadmap which includes plans around eventually making the Cart and Checkout blocks the default experience for WooCommerce users. So it’s in the best interest of payment methods that haven’t integrated yet to include that in their plans.
