Quick facts
Detection methodology for Payment processors
Payment SDKs identify themselves through their script src URL (`js.stripe.com/v3/`, `www.paypal.com/sdk/js`, `cdn.adyen.com/`) and runtime globals (`Stripe`, `paypal`, `AdyenCheckout`). We surface the exact SDK version via the sourcemap when shipped — Stripe Elements 14.x vs 5.x, PayPal Checkout v5 vs v6 — which matters for security and compliance work much more than the categorical 'they use Stripe' answer.
FAQ
How do I check if a website is using Mercado Pago?
Open the page in Chrome, click the Sourcemap Explorer toolbar icon, and read the Stack tab. The popup matches Mercado Pago's fingerprint signals (response headers, asset URL prefixes, runtime globals, sourcemap paths) and flags it whenever any combination is found. The same checks can be reproduced manually in DevTools — see the "How we detect" section above.
What Mercado Pago version can Sourcemap Explorer detect?
Mercado Pago ships as a hosted payment processors rather than a bundled npm package, so version-specific detection isn't always possible. Where the platform leaks a version in response headers (`X-Powered-By`, `Server`, generator meta tags) we surface it; otherwise we report presence only.
Is Mercado Pago a SaaS or self-hosted?
Mercado Pago is offered as a hosted SaaS product. Detection runs against the JavaScript SDK or asset-URL fingerprints the platform ships into pages.
How much does Mercado Pago cost?
Mercado Pago's pricing model is documented as: payg, low, recurring. Detection is independent of the pricing tier — Sourcemap Explorer flags the technology by its fingerprints, regardless of which paid plan a site is on. See the official site for the current pricing page.
