## What is Mercado Pago?

Mercado Pago is a system for receiving payments, which can be added to an e-commerce store that offers a fast and secure checkout to customers. Using this tool, it is possible to generate payment links to send to customers via WhatsApp or social networks and make QR Code collections.

I´m using Mercado Pago since the launch of the app. Is really popular in my country and i´ve got no complaints. Really simply to use. The functions are most useful everytime like loans.

Pros

Is easy to transfer money. Used by the majority of people in Argentina. Quick money transfers are the best. There´s no bugs and issues, working in every place with internet. The payments are safe and secure. Simply account management.

Cons

Sometimes customer support is slow in their response, making annoying the experience but not frequently

Great experience overall , I highly recommend it .I use other digital wallets like this one .But my main choice is Mercado Pago

Pros

Great Ui , many discounts and benefits , the app never fails , easy to use , they pay to keep your money in the app

Cons

They sometimes change too frequently the look of the app , this might be cumbersome because one is already use to a given look and feel to the app

Uso MercadoPago desde hace varios años para enviar y recibir pagos, y pago de servicios. La aplicación es muy intuitiva y los procesos son muy rápidos. Personalmente me resulta muy útil en mi negocio, para cobrar y pagar impuestos. Nunca más fui a bancos a hacer trámites o pagos comunes. Es un poco tedioso que hagn actualizaciones tan seguido pero, en general, es la mejor aplicación para el servicio

Pros

Transferencias inmediatas a cualquier banco o plataforma. Recarga de teléfono, carga de SUBE y pago de servicios en segundos. Muchos beneficios para negocios (formas de cobro, créditos)

Cons

A veces el soporte (humano) demora en responder la cuestión. Hay muchas promociones, pero cambian con mucha frecuencia y duran poco.

It's very good because it gives me a lot of benefits, one of which is the advance payment of receivables, the rates that aren't so high compared to other companies and the opportunity to borrow money for my business.

Pros

Of the various tools available to the user, in addition to the digital account, credit card, it is also possible to make sales through the machines or even payment links.

Cons

It could improve the difficulty of facial recognition. Also improve the interest on debts. Other than that, everything's fine with the app.

I definitely use and recommend it because of its top-notch quality and speed. However, I highly encourage users to read between lines when considering using it for loans, and other features and services that are not necessarily related to those of a digital wallet per

Pros

It works as one would expect. It's fast, intuitive, user-oriented, and its interfase is visually appealing. You can rely on it 24/7, as opposed to its competitors in that market.

Cons

It's expensive. If you lose MP's debit card and request a new one, they charge a ridiculous amount of money, when most of its competitors don't charge a thing. It's like they know its platform is the most adopted, and they take advantage of that. They charge way more than banks when you request loans.

I REALLY LIKE USING THE APP, IT'S EASY AND HAS SEVERAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SO I DON'T HAVE TO LOOK FOR THEM ON OTHER PLATFORMS, EVEN INVESTMENTS, INSURANCE AND OTHERS.

Pros

THE DIGITAL ACCOUNT IS VERY EASY TO USE, THE ICONS ARE SIMPLE AND QUICK, THE PAYMENT LINK IS PRACTICAL AND THE PRICE IS AFFORDABLE

Cons

SALES ADVANCES COULD HAVE A TABLE OF ADVANCE RATES TO CHOOSE THE MOST SUITABLE OPTION ACCORDING TO THE AMOUNT TO BE ADVANCED AND THE SALES DEADLINE.

No geral o Mercado Pago,atende muito bem as minhas necessidades, aumentam meu limite para compras no ML ,dividem sua fatura,caso precise e te dão empréstimo emergencial...Minha experiência é muito positiva!!

Pros

AFacilidade de uso: O Mercado Pago é conhecido por sua interface intuitiva e fácil de usar, tanto no aplicativo móvel quanto na plataforma web. Variedade de serviços: A plataforma oferece uma ampla gama de serviços financeiros, incluindo pagamentos online e presenciais, transferências, recarga de celular, pagamento de contas e investimentos. Segurança: O Mercado Pago utiliza tecnologias de segurança avançadas para proteger as informações e transações dos usuários. Integração com o Mercado Livre: A integração com o Mercado Livre facilita o processo de compra e venda online, oferecendo opções de pagamento seguras e convenientes. Soluções para vendedores: O Mercado Pago oferece diversas soluções para vendedores, incluindo maquininhas de cartão, links de pagamento .Ahh ,sem esquecer do rendimento em conta! Muito Bom.

Cons

A limitação de investimentos e Recusas de pagamentos Quanto a limitação de investimentos, não tem a menor variedade de investimentos que uma corretora.,mas,entendo que ele não é mesmo corretora! Não tem controle sobre recusas bancárias como: Falta de limite, Saldo insuficiente, cartão com vct expirado,cartão bloqueado ou desabilitado para compras online.

My experience with Mercado Pago has been very good, it's the most practical transfer system and the one I use the most in general.

Pros

It's very easy to use. From the first time I used it, I found it easy to use and its interface is also very helpful.

Cons

The download option could be a little simpler to use, but overall, for me, that's the only thing that could be improved.

Pros

Es un excelente procesador de pagos, fácil de implementar con woocommerce para el comercio electrónico, además que permite que mis clientes realicen pagos con varias opciones. Además, los tiempos en que se transfieren los fondos es rápido a comparación de otros procesadores de pago

Cons

A veces el sistema bloquea los pagos con tarjeta de credito cuando el cliente realiza un segundo o tercer pago, este inconveniente es aislado, es decir no sucede siempre, por lo demás me encanta Mercado Pago.
