Measure integration quality
Quality measurement evaluates whether your integration meets Mercado Pago's security and quality requirements. Before going to production, complete this evaluation to identify mandatory adjustments, recommendations, and best practices.
During the measurement, Mercado Pago analyzes the following aspects of the integration:
| Aspect | Description |
| Buyer experience | Evaluates the data and settings that affect the payment experience. |
| Financial reconciliation | Verifies that the integration facilitates correlating Mercado Pago payments with the operations recorded in your system. |
| Payment approval | Analyzes the information submitted with each payment to improve the approval rate and apply fraud prevention tools. |
| Scalability | Verifies the use of updated official libraries and that the integration can sustain and diagnose operations over time. |
| Security | Evaluates the secure handling of credentials and the data used during the purchase. |

After completing the measurement, apply all mandatory actions indicated by the tool and measure the integration quality again to verify the adjustments.
In the Calidad de integración section of Datos de integración, you will find the following information:
- Score: indicates the level of compliance with the quality criteria. The minimum expected score is 73 points, but reaching it is not sufficient by itself: you must also resolve all mandatory actions. We recommend reaching 100 points.
- Last measurement date and Order ID: identifies when the last evaluation was performed and which payment was used.
- Evaluated aspects: shows the score for each aspect and allows you to filter the results by requirements, recommendations, and best practices.
- Medir de nuevo: allows you to repeat the measurement after applying the identified adjustments.
Analyze the score together with the mandatory actions indicated by the tool.
The result groups improvement opportunities into the following categories:
- Mandatory actions: requirements you must meet to ensure integration quality. For example, configuring Webhook notifications or submitting an external reference to correlate payments.
- Recommended actions: adjustments that improve the score. For example, submitting complete buyer information to support payment analysis.
- Best practices: recommendations that do not change the score but improve integration maintenance.
Apply the specific instructions returned by the tool and run a new measurement to verify the changes.
