Change in the data type of user IDs to Int64

We inform you about an internal technical adjustment at Mercado Pago that may require modifications to your system.

From now on, user IDs will change from Int32 to Int64 format. If your application uses this information through fields such as ‘user_id’, ‘payer_id’, ‘collector_id’, or any other reference to user IDs provided by Mercado Pago, your integration may generate errors if you do not make the necessary adjustments. To avoid issues, we recommend the following actions:

1. Review storage: Ensure that your system is prepared to store IDs in the Int64 format in a compatible manner.

2. Validate data retrieval: Check if the data retrieval processes are not converting or limiting the IDs to Int32 format, which could cause failures.

We recommend that the necessary adaptations be made as a priority to avoid interruptions or operational issues. If you need support or more information, we are available to help.
