Introduction

If you’re in Argentina, MercadoPago is one of the most convenient and accessible ways to pay for your hosting, VPS and domain services with Truobox. The platform lets you pay by credit card, debit card, account balance or even cash at payment points such as Rapipago and Pago Fácil.

This guide shows you, step by step, how to pay an outstanding invoice with MercadoPago from your Truobox client area. The process is simple and takes just a few minutes.

What you need before you start

To pay with MercadoPago you need:

• An active Truobox account with an unpaid invoice.
• A MercadoPago account or access to one of the payment methods it supports (credit/debit card, bank transfer, cash at payment points).
• Your login credentials for the Truobox client area (email address and password).

Step 1: Log in to the client area

Go to the Truobox home page and click “My Account” in the top menu. Enter your email address and password to reach your client dashboard.

Once you’re signed in, you’ll see a general summary of your account, including notifications about any pending or overdue invoices that need your attention.

Step 2: Go to the billing section

From the main menu of the client area, click “Billing” and select “My Invoices”. Here you’ll find the full list of your invoices along with their reference number, issue date and current status.

Unpaid invoices are clearly flagged so you can spot them quickly.

Step 3: Select the outstanding invoice

Click the invoice you want to pay to open its detailed view. From here you can review all the charge information:

• Description of the service you purchased (hosting, VPS, domain, SSL certificate, etc.).
• Billing period covered by the payment.
• Total amount due in the corresponding currency.

Check that everything is correct before moving on.

Step 4: Choose MercadoPago as your payment method

On the invoice details page, review the amount due and select MercadoPago from the available payment options. This payment method is available for customers billed in Argentine pesos.

Step 5: Complete the payment on MercadoPago

Click the payment button on screen. You’ll be redirected automatically to the official MercadoPago page, where you can complete the transaction securely.

Inside MercadoPago you’ll have several ways to pay:

• MercadoPago account balance: If you have funds available, this is the fastest option.

• Debit card: For immediate payments straight from your bank account.
• Bank transfer: From your online banking portal or your bank’s app.
