What Mercado Pago is
Mercado Pago is Mercado Libre's payments and financial services platform.
It operates in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay. In Colombia it accepts credit and debit cards, PSE, cash at Efecty and account balance, and it lets businesses get paid with payment links shared over WhatsApp, social media or email.
Send a payment link over WhatsApp so the patient can pay for the visit by card, PSE or cash.
