Integrate Zoho Books with Mercado Pago
Mercado Pago is an online payment platform that allows Zoho Books users to receive and process payments quickly and securely. Once you share the invoice link with your customer, they can make payments through multiple payment modes such as debit/credit cards, cash, and red link transfers.
This integration is currently available only for users whose business location in Zoho Books is either Uruguay, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Chile, Brazil or Peru.
