Guest users sales

Important:
This functionality will be available from June 2022, on the sites where Mercado Shops is enabled (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and Colombia).

We will allow guest users to make purchases in the stores without needing to have a Mercado Libre account, simplifying the shopping experience so that sellers can sell more. Therefore, in the stores it will be possible to buy with guest users by entering little information such as name, surname and email. Take into account the considerations per site.

Considerations

The data that we will request to the guest user besides the name and surname by site will be:

  • MLM: e-mail
  • MLB: e-mail + CPF o CNPJ
  • MLA: e-mail + DNI
  • MLC: e-mail + RUT

The guest users:

  • Will not have a protected purchase,
  • will not have a password and will not be able to enter Mercado Libre or Mercado Pago,
  • will not have messaging in Mercado Libre flows,
  • and will have a brand to be will have a brand to be identified as such, which will be lite and an ID.

For this type of user we create a new session type to authorize access only to guest flows. Note that:

  • One user per store and email will be created for each purchase.
  • The sales of these users will not affect the seller's reputation.

Each guest user will be able to track his purchase by accessing the information available in his email and will be able to view each purchase individually.


Cases in which the seller will receive an e-mail of a guest purchase:


Status E-mail buyer E-mail seller
PAYMENT DECLINED Yes No
IN PROCESS No No
PACKAGE IN PREPARATION No Yes
PACKAGE IN PREPARATION DELAYED No Yes
PACKAGE ON THE WAY Yes No
PACKAGE ON THE ROAD DELAYED Yes Yes
PACKAGE AT PICK-UP POINT Yes No
PACKAGE DELIVERED Yes No

Identify guest users

Currently, orders will have a new array that will allow knowing the context with which the orders were created, saving the type of customer that creates the purchase, allowing a better reading and interpretation of the information.

To find out if the order was made by a guest user, they should review the new context node that will have detailed information to identify if the purchase was made by a guest user. For this you will have to check the flows field, inside the context array, checking that its value is lite and that the channel corresponds to mshops.
