Integration configuration

The integration of Money Out is done by making a single API call to v1/transaction-intents. This way, the transaction is created and processed in a single request and, if successful, the money will be available to be withdrawn to the destination account, without the need for additional steps.

Important
To set up the integration and test its proper functioning before going live, you'll need to use your test Access Token.

To integrate Money Out with destination to bank accounts, you will need to send a POST request, with your Access Token in the Authorization header and your idempotency key in the X-Idempotency-Key header, to the endpoint /v1/transaction-intents/process. You should send the corresponding parameters following the instructions in the table below.

Note
Please note that only one destination account (transaction.to) per call is allowed.

Set up notifications

In order to keep track of the status of your transactions, you must configure the Webhook notifications. These are messages sent by the Mercado Pago server in response to events that occur in your application. Specifically for Money Out, these events can be either the creation of a transaction or the status updates that the transaction goes through during its processing.

You can configure your Webhook notifications when creating a transaction by using the notification_url field. Simply fill it with the URL where you want to receive your updates.

You can see examples of the messages you will receive when registering an event below.

- Message for transaction creation.

json

{
  "action": "transaction_intent.created",
  "api_version": "v1",
  "data": {
    "id": "1108917506-01GGTH198RP0K71H133EK9BJAT" // ID of the transaction intent
  },
  "date_created": "2022-11-01T17:19:53.915-04:00",
  "id": "103686924004", // ID of the notification
  "last_updated": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "status": "new",
  "type": "transaction_intent"
}

- Message for a transaction update.

json

{
  "action": "transaction_intent.updated",
  "api_version": "v1",
  "data": {
    "id": "1108917506-01GGTH198RP0K71H133EK9BJAT" // ID of the transaction intent
  },
  "date_created": "2022-11-01T17:19:53.915-04:00",
  "id": "103686918006", // ID of the notification
  "last_updated": "2022-11-01T17:19:55.001-04:00",
  "status": "partially_processed",
  "type": "transaction_intent"
}

The data.id attribute corresponds to the ID of the transaction being notified to you, the id parameter will be the identifier of the notification, and status will inform you whether it is the creation of the transaction or the update of its status.

Required actions after receiving the notification

When you receive a notification on your platform, you should first validate the information of the notified resource. To do this, execute the request for Get information about a transaction using the transaction ID that was notified to you.

Once the transaction data is cross-validated and verified, Mercado Pago expects a response to ensure that the notification was received correctly. To do this, you should return an HTTP STATUS 200 (OK) or 201 (CREATED) to the URL sent in the notification_url field. If this response is not sent, it will be understood that you have not received the notification and a new sending attempt will be made until the response is received.

In the following table, you can find the main events, deadlines, and waiting time to receive new notification attempts.

EventDeadline after the first sendingConfirmation waiting time
Sending-22 seconds
First attempt15 minutes5 seconds
Second attempt30 minutes5 seconds
Third attempt6 hours5 seconds
Fourth attempt48 hours5 seconds
Fifth attempt96 hours5 seconds

Get information about a transaction

If you wish, you can retrieve information about a transaction. This can be useful to confirm that it was created correctly, to check its status, or to verify the information received in your notifications.

To do so, send a GET request with your Access Token to the endpoint /v1/transaction-intents/{{transaction_intent_id}}, replacing transaction_intent_id with the ID obtained in the response at the time of creating the transaction.

curl

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.mercadopago.com/v1/transaction-intents/{{transaction_intent_id}}' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {{access_token}}'

If the data sent in the call is correct, you will receive a response like the following:

}

To know the details of each returned attribute, refer to the response in the Withdrawals Configuration.

Possible transaction status

When you create a transaction or when you query information related to it, the responses will return two fields that allow you to know the state in which it currently stands.

On one hand, the status field will provide information regarding the current processing status. On the other hand, the status_detail field, found as an attribute of transaction.to.accounts, will allow you to understand the reasons or details that resulted in that status.

Below, you can see all the possible status a transaction can go through during its processing.
