Mercado Libre Account Integration

Overview

MercadoLibre, Inc. is an Argentine company headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, incorporated in the United States that operates online marketplaces dedicated to e-commerce and online auctions, including mercadolibre.com. As of 2021, MercadoLibre, Inc. had approximately 139.5 million unique active users. Sellercloud can establish an API connection with Mercado Libre via plugin integration. You’ll need to request your Seller ID and Oauth Token from Mercado Libre.

It is recommended to have a company designated for this integration where the company settings and relevant scheduled tasks should be set up.

Prerequisite

There are three plugins you will need to be installed on your server in order to integrate:

  • Mercado Libre Order Import
  • Mercado Libre Documents Import Order Export
  • Mercado Libre Product Export

Reach out to the Sellercloud Support team to have the plugins installed on your server.

If you would like a dedicated representative to complete the testing for your account and ensure that the setup is configured accordingly, we recommend opting in for Premium Support.

In order to execute the plugins for Order Import and Inventory and Invoice Import, you’ll need to create the following company settings in Sellercloud under the company, where the task will be configured. You can find more information on Company Settings here
