# Pix (Mercado Pago)

> Accept Pix through Mercado Pago on a Gamecart store

Pix is a Brazilian payment method. This page covers Pix through Mercado Pago. For Pix through Efí, see [Efí](/tutorials/store-setup/payment-gateways/efi).

The store currency must be BRL. Buyers pay on a Gamecart Pix page with a QR code and copy-and-paste code. You do not paste a webhook secret.

## Before you begin

You need a Mercado Pago account that can receive Pix 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 Pix.
4. Set **Provider** to **Mercado Pago**.
5. Paste the access token.
6. Turn on **Sandbox mode** only when the token is a test credential.
7. Save, then enable Pix when you are ready for checkout.

You cannot switch this Pix gateway to Efí while a Pix order is still pending with Mercado Pago.
