Edition: CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor · Latest version: 1.0.0 · Compatible with: CS-Cart & Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 – 4.21.x, PHP 7.4 – 8.3 · Changelog: view
Integrates CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor with Mercado Pago Checkout Pro for stores in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay: the customer pays on the Mercado Pago page with cards and installments, account money, Pix, boleto, OXXO and the other local methods, and comes back to the order.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”- Offers Mercado Pago as a payment method at checkout. You use your own Mercado Pago account and credentials.
- Reads every payment back from Mercado Pago before an order changes; notifications are checked with Mercado Pago’s secret signature (x-signature) and only trigger that check.
- Pending vouchers (boleto, OXXO, Pix codes, payments under review) open the order and empty the cart; they are never shown as cancelled, and the order is marked paid as soon as Mercado Pago reports the payment, even days later.
- Refunds from the order page (full or partial, also over a payment made with two methods), or automatically when an order reaches a status you choose. Every refund carries an idempotency key, so a retry is never a second refund.
- Cancels an unpaid voucher at Mercado Pago from the order page or when you cancel the order.
- Charges in the local currency of your Mercado Pago account (ARS, BRL, CLP, COP, MXN, PEN, UYU, with the right number of decimals).
- Credentials stored encrypted, separate test and live mode, “Test connection”, a job queue with automatic retries and a log with CSV export.
- Multi-Vendor: one Mercado Pago account for the whole marketplace (a cart with several vendors is one payment; each vendor order refunds its own share), or one account per vendor.

Section titled “Compatibility”- CS-Cart and Multi-Vendor 4.17.2 to 4.21.x, including the Ultimate editions.
