When installing Checkout Pro, there may be an increase in the approval rate of online store sales. This happens because buyers will be able to pay using a Mercado Pago account and the entire purchase process will be done in our environment, which facilitates payment. At the end of the transaction, these buyers are redirected to the store environment.

1. To activate Checkout Pro, go to the settings in the WooCommerce panel (WooCommerce > Mercado Pago).
2. Click on 3. Activate and configure payment methods.
3. In the option "Your saved cards or money in Mercado Pago", click on Configure.

4. The "Activate checkout" option allows you to enable or disable Checkout Pro on your store. To activate it, click on the switch.
5. In the Title on the store checkout field, enter the name by which this payment method will be identified in the store. For example, you can name it "Mercado Pago".

6. The Convert currency option allows the currency value configured in WooCommerce to be compatible with the currency value you use in Mercado Pago. To activate it, click on the switch.

7. In the Choose the accepted payment methods in the store section, choose which types and payment methods will be accepted in the store through Checkout Pro, which can be:

   • Debit and credit cards.
   • Cash (Mercado Pago account balance or bank receipt).
   • Bank transfer (Pix). The Pix payment option will only be shown if there is a Pix Key registered in Mercado Pago.
   • Installments without a card. By setting up Checkout Pro, you can offer the option to pay up to 12 installments without a card. If you also want to show this option at the checkout of your store, read the documentation.

8. In the Maximum installments field, select the maximum number of installments you want to offer to your customers through Mercado Pago. You can choose to offer between 1 and 24 installments.
