Installments without card

Linha de Crédito is Mercado Pago’s financing method that allows paying in installments without the need for a card.

With this line of credit, administered by Mercado Pago, the payment is credited in full to the seller's account, while the customer can choose to pay in up to 12 fixed monthly installments, no card needed. The user just has to enter their Mercado Pago account (or create one), determine their available limit, and choose how many installments they want to pay in.

Linha de Crédito is currently offered in our Checkout Pro, and now it is also possible to access directly from the store checkout. If you haven't set up Checkout Pro yet, you must access the Configure payments with Checkout Pro section.

If you want to show Linha de Crédito in your store's checkout, follow the steps below.
