HighLevel Mercado Pago Integration: Complete Guide to LATAM Payments

If you’re running a business in Latin America — or serving clients who do — accepting payments just got a whole lot easier. HighLevel now supports Mercado Pago as a native payment provider, giving agencies and sub-accounts across seven LATAM countries a localized way to collect payments directly through the platform. Let’s dive in.

1. What Is the Mercado Pago Integration?

Mercado Pago is the leading payment platform in Latin America, operating across multiple countries with deep local payment method support. HighLevel’s native integration means you no longer need third-party workarounds or Zapier bridges to accept payments from LATAM customers.

The integration is available for both agencies (at the agency level) and sub-accounts (at the location level). Once connected, Mercado Pago becomes a payment provider option anywhere you accept payments in HighLevel.

Supported Countries

At launch, the integration supports these seven countries:

• Argentina
• Brazil
• Chile
• Colombia
• Mexico
• Peru
• Uruguay

More countries are planned based on demand. If your market isn’t listed yet, keep an eye on the HighLevel changelog for expansion announcements.

2. How to Connect Mercado Pago to HighLevel

Getting started takes just a few minutes. You’ll need your Mercado Pago account credentials and access to the Payments section in HighLevel.

1. Navigate to Payments — From the left navigation bar, click Payments and then open the Integrations tab
2. Select Mercado Pago — Click on Mercado Pago from the available providers list
3. Enter your credentials — Input your Public Key and Access Token from your Mercado Pago developer dashboard
4. Select your country — Choose your operating country from the dropdown (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, or Uruguay)
5. Complete webhook setup — Follow the instructions to configure the webhook URL in your Mercado Pago account to finish the connection

3. Where You Can Use Mercado Pago

Once connected, Mercado Pago works across every payment channel in HighLevel. This means you can accept LATAM payments in:

• Funnels — One-step and two-step order forms
• Calendars — Paid appointment bookings
• Invoices — Send invoices with Mercado Pago as the payment method
• Payment Links — Standalone payment pages
• Stores — E-commerce product purchases
• Products — Digital and physical product sales
• SaaS Mode — Subscription billing for your SaaS clients
• Communities — Paid community access
• Courses — Course enrollment payments
• Surveys — Payment-gated surveys

One-Step Order Forms in Funnels

When a customer checks out through a funnel, the payment form automatically includes LATAM-specific fields like Cardholder ID (C.C. — Cédula de Ciudadanía or equivalent national ID). This is required for Mercado Pago transactions in most countries.

4. Configuring Mercado Pago Per Channel

You don’t have to use Mercado Pago everywhere. HighLevel’s Configure Provider feature lets you choose which payment provider to use on each channel individually.

For example, you might use Mercado Pago for your funnels and payment links (targeting LATAM customers) while keeping Stripe for your calendars (serving international clients). The configuration table lets you set this up in seconds.

5. Viewing Mercado Pago Transactions

All Mercado Pago transactions appear in the standard Payments > Transactions tab, just like Stripe or PayPal transactions. You’ll see the payment provider listed as “Mercado Pago” along with the full transaction details including amount, customer info, and status.

6. Important Requirements and Limitations

Before you start accepting payments, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Minimum amounts — Each country has minimum transaction amounts that must be met. Check Mercado Pago’s documentation for your specific country’s limits.
• CVV-less payments — You must enable CVV-less payments on your Mercado Pago account for recurring or saved-card transactions to work.
• Local currencies only — Currently, only local/regional currencies are supported. If your product is priced in USD, the customer will see the equivalent in their local currency based on Mercado Pago’s conversion rates.
• Cardholder ID required — Most LATAM countries require a national identification number (C.C., CPF, RUT, etc.) for card transactions. This field is automatically included in payment forms.

7. What’s Coming Next

HighLevel has announced two upcoming improvements to the Mercado Pago integration:

• More countries — Expansion to additional South American regions based on user demand
• Dynamic currency conversion — Automatic conversion based on product currency, so you can price in USD and let customers pay in their local currency seamlessly
