What you need before you start
To pay with MercadoPago you need:
- An active Truobox account with an unpaid invoice.

- 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.
