# Set up Mercado Pago

Ordering.co can show more than one Mercado Pago variant. The installable catalog calls its entry **Mercado Pago Checkout Pro**. An existing project can return a separately named **Checkout-pro Mercadopago** method. Identify the active method and its fields before using existing credentials.

## Review installation and the project setup

1. Open **Stores → select a store → Payment methods**. If the catalog offers **Mercado Pago Checkout Pro**, an administrator can use **Install**. Return to the store after the plugin setup.
2. If your installed variant exposes a project configuration, find it in **Settings → Apps & developers**. Review the provider access token or environment controls returned for that plugin. The project mode and store mode are separate settings.

## Verify the selected store and environment

Open the returned Mercado Pago method in the store. Choose its test environment. If the form shows the Public Key, Access Token, Client ID and Client Secret, use the corresponding provider values in their matching fields. Check the selected channels and order types, save, and enable the method. Confirm the provider result in the approved test environment. Ask support to identify the variant if the catalog entry and the existing method differ.
