Adding Mercado Pago or another local payment method to Shopify in Latin America is not proven by a visible button. A cross-border store should validate entity eligibility, currency, settlement, failure codes, refunds, fraud, address, tax, delivery, and reconciliation by country. Brazil, Mexico, and Argentina should not be treated as one payment market.

Record market, language, currency, methods, minimums, 3DS, retry, refund path, fees, settlement cycle, and support. Replay success, failure, cancellation, duplicate, partial refund, and dispute scenarios. Follow current Shopify, provider, and contractual terms for eligibility and fees.
