Troubleshooting

  • The Log tab shows every call and Mercado Pago’s answer (secrets masked). Turn on Debug log for the full requests.
  • The Jobs tab shows notifications, refunds and cancellations that are waiting for a retry, with the last error.
Symptom Cause and fix
“Test connection” fails with invalid access token (401) The Access token is wrong, from another application, or a test token in Live mode. Copy it again from Your integrations > your application > Credentials.
The method is not shown at checkout The add-on is disabled or unlicensed, the Connection is not saved, or the store lacks the currency of the account’s country (for example MXN for a Mexican account). Add the currency in Administration > Currencies.
“This payment method cannot charge the order currency” Same as above: set the country on the Connection page and add its currency to the store.
Mercado Pago shows “Something went wrong” after paying The store address is http:// or localhost. Mercado Pago only returns to and notifies https addresses on a real domain.
collector_does_not_comply_with_current_regulation Your Mercado Pago account has open identity or regulatory checks. Finish them in your Mercado Pago account.
Orders stay “Open” The customer has not paid the voucher yet, or notifications do not reach the store. Check the cron job; “Check status now” on the order tab reads the payment at once.
Log: “x-signature does not match” The secret signature on the Connection page is not the one of this application, or it was reset in Your integrations. Copy it again.
Refund error 2063 / 4293 The payment is not in a refundable state (not approved yet, or already refunded).
Refund error 3024 “Partial refund unsupported” That payment method only allows a full refund: leave the amount empty.
Refund error 2024 / 15016 “too old” Mercado Pago accepts refunds within 180 days of approval; refund the customer another way.
Refund rejected for balance Your Mercado Pago account needs available balance for the refund.
A refund shows “unknown” The answer from Mercado Pago was lost. The job repeats it with the same idempotency key, so it is booked once; or click Refund again with the same amount.
A note “Paid amount differs …” on the order tab Money arrived that does not match the order (two payments, edited order, different amount). The order is not marked paid: refund the payment or adjust the order.
