Your customers in Latin America can now pay you via Mercado Pago — and you receive the payments directly in your account.
We’re excited to announce that Rentware now integrates with Mercado Pago, the leading payment platform in Latin America. If you run a rental business with operations in the region — or if you have customers booking from Latin American countries — this one’s for you.
Mercado Pago is part of the Mercado Libre ecosystem, the largest e-commerce platform in Latin America. It’s how millions of people across the region pay for things online every day — in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay.
With this integration, your customers can select Mercado Pago at checkout when booking a rental through Rentware. They pay using whatever method works best for them — and you receive the funds directly in your Mercado Pago merchant account. Simple as that.
How does it work?
The process is fully integrated into the existing Rentware booking flow:
A customer visits your booking page, selects a rental, and proceeds to checkout. At the payment step, Mercado Pago is available as an option. They complete the payment, the booking is confirmed in Rentware automatically, and you receive the funds in your Mercado Pago account.
No changes needed to your stations, hardware, or any other part of your setup. This integration lives entirely on the checkout side.
Who is this for?
This is especially useful if you operate rentals in Latin America — shared mobility, e-bikes, scooters, outdoor equipment, or any type of rental where customers book online and pick up at a location.
But it’s not limited to operators based in the region. If your business is headquartered in Europe or the US and you have stations or booking activity in Latin America, you can enable Mercado Pago specifically for those markets.
Many consumers in Latin America prefer Mercado Pago over international card alternatives. Offering it at checkout means fewer drop-offs and a smoother experience for your customers.
