Mercado Pago Plans Pricing

Commercial model for the Mercado Pago API surface. Mercado Pago does not meter its APIs on a per-request basis — pricing is transaction-based and set per market, per product, per payment method, and per settlement window (immediate, daily, 14-day, 30-day). API access itself is free; the merchant pays per successfully processed transaction. The published Brazilian rates below are representative scaffold values; reconcile per market and per acquiring contract.
