Payment methods Mercado Pago brings to checkout
With Mercado Pago your buyers can pay with the Mercado Pago wallet, Visa, Mastercard and American Express, and Pix in Brazil. The available methods appear on the tickets page automatically.
Latin America's largest payment network
Mercado Pago is the biggest payment platform in the region and onboards merchants in Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru and Uruguay. Its own wallet is used by millions of buyers, and in Brazil it adds Pix, so a huge local audience can pay for a ticket with an account they already have.
Pricing and payouts
You connect your own Mercado Pago account, so wallet, card and Pix payments settle directly to you in your local currency. Mercado Pago sets its processing fees by your agreement, and Evenda adds no platform fee of its own on ticket sales.

Technical notes
Mercado Pago uses Checkout Pro: Evenda creates a preference with your access token and redirects the buyer to the Mercado Pago page. The result arrives as a payment webhook whose x-signature Evenda verifies with HMAC-SHA256, then it queries the payment and matches it by reference before the order is marked paid — so the status stays correct even if the buyer closes the tab.
Connect Mercado Pago to Evenda to sell tickets across Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and the region, and settle to your own account.
