Billing data

Important:
- To obtain the response with the new version, send the header 'x-version: 2'
- This change to v2 only impacts MLA, MLB, MLM, MLC, MCO, and MEC; the other sites (MLU, MPE, MLV) continue with the first version of the resource.
- We will soon remove the previous version of the /billing_info resource for the sites mentioned earlier.
- For MEC, this is the first time we are publishing this resource, so there is no need to replace the previous version, just adopt the new one.
- For the MLM site, billing-info data is only returned in the current version or V2 when the purchase is made through the cart or with Extended Warranty and/or Theft or Damage Protection. We are gradually migrating sellers to V2. In cases where the data is not available in V2, it is possible to consult V1 to obtain this information.

To bill a sale you need to have the buyer's data which are available in Orders resource, more specifically, in /orders/order_id/billing_info.

Query billing data

To get the information about a buyer's billing data contained in an order, make the following call. Request:

curl -X GET \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'x-version:2' \
  https://api.mercadolibre.com/orders/$ORDER_ID/billing_info

Example:

curl -X GET \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN' \
  -H 'x-version:2' \
  https://api.mercadolibre.com/orders/1691789796/billing_info
