Add Mercadopago as a payment gateway

Could it be possible add the MercadoPago, Visa or Mastercard gateways in a Sharetribe Flex marketplace to let sellers and buyers make operations? Because Sharetribe Flex only uses Stripe as a payment platform and it does not sopport Argentina.

Hey there!

Unfortunately right now we don’t offer such possibility with Flex, although we plan to make this easier in the future.

However you could integrate that payment gateway with Go Community Edition. That requires quite some work (and I’m not familiar with the technical details of MercadoPago) but maybe someone in this forum has done that work already and would be willing to open-source it?

nowadays it’s possible to add custom payments in FLEX?

@fcavalcantirj Indeed, this should be possible. That still requires some significant development work though, but a few marketplaces using Flex have been able to achieve this.

We’ve shared some guidances on how to integrate a 3rd-party payment gateway with your Flex marketplace at https://www.sharetribe.com/docs/how-to/how-to-integrate-3rd-party-payment-gateway/. It’s a good starting point! And don’t hesitate to discuss this with other Flex users on the Flex Slack channel, at https://www.sharetribe.com/flex-slack

Hopefully, this helps.

thanks for the answer. I’ve read the link before posting here - the idea was my gateway to be listed and available for other Flex users to use it. I dont have a store, my goal is for sharetribe to list my gateway as available - like stripe connnect.
thanks already!
