To generate and get the production credentials for your Mercado Pago account, log into your account and follow these steps:

1) Generate the Mercado Pago credentials

1.1 On the main panel of your Mercado Pago account, click on "Your Business" (number 3 in the image), and then on "Settings" (number 4 in the image).

1.2 Next, click on the "Credentials" box, located under the "Management and Administration" section (number 5 in the image).

1.3 In the "Credentials" section you will need to create an "Application" to generate this set of credentials.

To do so:

• Assign a name to your application
• Select the "Online Payments" option
• Answer "Yes" to the question "Are you using an e-commerce platform?"
• For the "Select the platform you will use to integrate" field, select "Other platforms"
