About this plugin
This plugin does not charge or process payments. It works alongside the official Mercado Pago plugin for WooCommerce (or any other way you collect with Mercado Pago) and helps with two very common problems:
- Orders that stay “Pending payment” or “On hold” even though the customer already paid (the payment notification was lost).
- Rejected payments or failing checkouts with no clear explanation, usually caused by a setting you can fix.
The admin interface is in Spanish (Argentina is the default). Spanish (Spain) and English (US) translation files are included. The Spanish text below is what the screens show.
Diagnostics (WooCommerce > Conciliador MP)
A list of checks, each one green, orange or red, with a plain-language explanation and what to do about it:
- Official Mercado Pago plugin detected, and its version.
- Mercado Pago payment methods enabled in WooCommerce.
- Test or production mode of the credentials (the token is never displayed).
- Site served over HTTPS.
- The payment notification address (webhook) and the REST API answer from the server.
- WP-Cron is running (WooCommerce uses it to cancel and update orders).
- Store currency versus the country of your Mercado Pago account.
- Number of Mercado Pago orders pending or on hold in the last N days.
Manual reconciliation
Lists the stuck Mercado Pago orders. For each one you query Mercado Pago for the real payment status (using the payment ID stored by the official plugin, or the order’s external reference) and see the result:
- Approved payment: “Mark as paid” button.
- Rejected payment: “Mark as failed” button.
- Cancelled payment: “Cancel order” button.
- No payment, in process or in mediation: explained, and no action is offered.
Nothing is changed without your click. Every change leaves an order note with the payment number, the Mercado Pago status, the previous status and who applied it. For safety, if the amount or currency of the payment does not match the order, or the external reference belongs to another order, no action is offered.
Privacy and security
- No tracking, no statistics, no ads. No data is sent to the plugin authors.
- Mercado Pago is only queried when an administrator presses a button.
- The access token is read from the official plugin or stored in this plugin without autoload. It is never displayed on screen or written to logs, and it only travels in the header of the request to Mercado Pago.
- Every action requires the manage_woocommerce capability and a nonce.
- Compatible with High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS).
External service: Mercado Pago API (Servicio externo)
com ) to read the real status of your store’s payments and to check that your access token works.
- What is sent: your access token (in the Authorization header), and the payment ID stored in the order or the order’s external reference (for example WC-123 ). No customer personal data is sent.
- When: only when an administrator presses “Consultar”, “Consultar todas a Mercado Pago” or “Correr diagnóstico completo”. Never in the background, on page load, or on activation.
- Endpoints used (read only, GET): /v1/payments/{id}, /v1/payments/search and /users/me.
- Service provided by Mercado Pago. Developer terms and conditions: https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/developers/es/docs/resources/legal/terms-and-conditions. Privacy policy: https://www.mercadopago.com.ar/privacidad
- In addition, the full diagnostic visits two addresses of your own site (the payment notification address and the REST API) to check that they respond. No other server is contacted.
