Is Mercado Pago down right now?

Operational. We reached Mercado Pago from all 1 region we check.

How does RealUptime check if Mercado Pago is down?

RealUptime checks Mercado Pago with scheduled HTTP probes against its public, unauthenticated functional endpoints, run from named regions on a fixed cadence, plus an extra confirmation probe whenever a signal suggests a problem. This verifies that the functional endpoints we probe actually answer, not that every feature of Mercado Pago works end to end.

What does "degraded" mean for Mercado Pago?

Degraded means Mercado Pago answered our probe but at several times its own seven-day median response time. Degraded only ever applies to a reading that answered: a surface that is down, or one that refused our probe, is reported as down or awaiting data instead, never softened into "degraded".

What is Mercado Pago's current response time?

RealUptime's most recent measured response time for Mercado Pago, by region: US-East: 206 ms. This is the latest single probe reading per region, not an average.

When did RealUptime last check Mercado Pago?

RealUptime's probes last checked Mercado Pago at 2026-09-03T01:31:19.283Z.

Mercado Pago serves Latin America; our Virginia region is the closest probe we operate to that market, so it is the only one we check from.

These are Mercado Pago's components, named and scored by Mercado Pago. We do not map them onto the functions we check above, because we have no way to know which of their components our checks touch. Two lists, side by side, neither one rewriting the other.

This is Mercado Pago's own claim about their service, shown separately from what we measured. We never change our own numbers based on what a vendor reports, and this reading never changes theirs. Read both.

Is it Mercado Pago, or is it you?

Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not Mercado Pago -- it cannot diagnose Mercado Pago's own systems.

These are unverified reports from people using Mercado Pago, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We have not received any reports for Mercado Pago yet, which is not evidence that nothing is wrong.

measured entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works

We have been measuring Mercado Pago since August 20, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

The badge shows the share of our probes that succeeded over the last 30 days, and the window is printed on it so the number always says what period it covers. If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so: it will not show green on data we cannot vouch for. Free, no account, and it links back here. See how the badge works for every window and the honesty rules behind it.

What Mercado Pago's SLA implies, from our measurement

Window

What you pay per month

Uptime target in your contract

Include outages only one region saw (none)

At or above your target

We measured none of downtime for Mercado Pago over the 337h 32m since we started watching it on 2026-08-20, which is 100% uptime by our reading. A 99.9% target allows 20 minutes over that period.

By our measurement there is no shortfall to claim for this period.

This is computed from our own probe measurements, not from Mercado Pago's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.

RealUptime is not affiliated with Mercado Pago; the name identifies what we measured, and nothing here speaks for Mercado Pago's own team. We send a single web request to Mercado Pago from 1 region on our own schedule and time the response. We do not see inside Mercado Pago's systems, do not use an account or real transaction, and are not the same signal Mercado Pago's own team has access to. Treat this as one external data point, not a verdict. At least one endpoint we check for Mercado Pago is a real functional API call (marked “functional” above), not just a landing page, so a clean read there is a stronger signal than reachability alone, though it still does not cover every feature of the service. Mercado Pago serves Latin America; our Virginia region is the closest probe we operate to that market, so it is the only one we check from. Read the full methodology.
