Multiple payments

In some cases, when the payment is declined due to the credit card limit, we allow users to add another payment with a second credit card.

When you make a GET request to the Orders API, you will see that within the payment set there will be two IDs with the details of each payment.
Example:

curl -X GET -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' https://api.mercadolibre.com/orders/893431118

Cashback in account for canceled sales

Importante:

It is only available for sellers in Mexico and soon, for those in Argentina and Brazil.

In the event of cancellations, buyers with a good reputation and who make payments with a credit or debit card will automatically receive a refund with money in the Mercado Pago account. In this way, the purchase order remains in a different state with respect to the other flows. The changes will be:

status = paid
New tag: unfulfilled

Note:

The order will never have the status canceled since by means of the return with money in the account it generates that the payment must be completed. In the payment of the order you will find the refund_account_money tag.

Next: Feedback on sale.
