How to fix Mercado Pago not working
Mercado Pago is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach mercadopago.com.pe over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Reload and restart
Reload the page (Ctrl+F5, or Cmd+Shift+R on a Mac), or fully close the app and open it again.
Try another connection
Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If it works on one and not the other, the problem is your network, not Mercado Pago.
Update the app
Install the latest version from the App Store or Google Play. Old versions can stop connecting after a server-side change.
While Mercado Pago is down: what to use instead
- Cash Keep some bills on you; a kiosk or café will still take them when the QR at the counter will not load.
- Your bank's app A transfer straight from your own account needs no wallet in between, so rent, utility bills and splitting a tab with a friend still get paid.
- Debit or credit card Most online stores and supermarkets process cards on their own checkout, which keeps the purchase moving while the app is unreachable.
- PayPal Handy for shops abroad that accept it, and a linked card covers the payment when the local wallet is out.

How we track Mercado Pago
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Mercado Pago, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Mercado Pago, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. Mercado Pago doesn't publish a public status page that we know of, so user reports are often the quickest sign that something is wrong on their side.
