# Mercado Pago

> Connect Mercado Pago Checkout Pro to a Gamecart store

This page is the Mercado Pago checkout that appears as its own gateway. It is separate from Pix. The store currency must be BRL.

Gamecart creates a Checkout Pro preference with your access token. You do not paste a webhook secret.

## Before you begin

You need a Mercado Pago account and a Gamecart store whose currency is BRL. Use a test access token while you try the integration, and a production token when you take real payments.

## Get the access token

1. Open your [Mercado Pago developers](https://www.mercadopago.com.br/developers) account.
2. Open the application you want Gamecart to use.
3. Copy the **Access token** for test or production.

## Add it in Gamecart

1. In the dashboard, open **Settings > Gateways**.
2. Set **Country** to **Brasil**.
3. Click **Configure** on Mercado Pago.
4. Paste the access token.
5. Turn on **Sandbox mode** only when the token is a test credential.
6. Save, then enable Mercado Pago when you are ready for checkout.

To accept Pix instead of Checkout Pro, configure the [Pix](/tutorials/store-setup/payment-gateways/pix) gateway.
