🌟 Getting Started

Simple usage looks like:

package main

import (
	"context"
	"fmt"

	"github.com/mercadopago/sdk-go/pkg/config"
	"github.com/mercadopago/sdk-go/pkg/payment"
)

func main() {
	accessToken := "{{ACCESS_TOKEN}}"

	cfg, err := config.New(accessToken)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	client := payment.NewClient(cfg)

	request := payment.Request{
		TransactionAmount: 105.1,
		Payer: &payment.PayerRequest{
			Email: "{{EMAIL}}",
		},
		Token:        "{{CARD_TOKEN}}",
		Installments: 1,
	}

	resource, err := client.Create(context.Background(), request)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	fmt.Println(resource)
}

SDK Configuration

Before making API requests, you need to initialize the SDK with your access token:

	accessToken := "{{ACCESS_TOKEN}}"

	cfg, err := config.New(accessToken)

Making API Requests

To make requests to the Mercado Pago APIs, you can use the packages provided by the SDK. For example, to list payment methods, you can use the paymentmethod package:

	client := paymentmethod.NewClient(cfg)
	resources, err := client.List(context.Background())

Exception throwing handling

Every package methods returns two variables: response (type of the package) and error (type of the std lib), which will contain any error thrown. It is important to handle these errors in the best possible way.

	resources, err := client.List(context.Background())
	if err != nil {
		// appropriate treatment
	}

For more details on the available methods and request parameters, please refer to the Go Reference documentation.
