Our verdict
Mercado Libre Mexico pays Up to 24% per sale on straightforward retail sales, and it suits publishers whose audience buys soon after a click. The catch is timing: a cookie window of 1 means a reader who returns the next day is lost, so short, product-led content works better than evergreen guides.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Commission pays Up to 24% per sale on a cost per sale model (cps).
- Direct links and referral links are both supported (direct and referral).
- The catalogue is retail, so everyday product content has plenty to link to.
Cons
- The cookie window is 1, far below the ecommerce median of 30 days, so a reader who comes back later earns nothing.
- Recurring commission: no, so repeat buyers add nothing to a settled payment.
- Coverage is a single market (single country), which caps the audience a link can convert.
Who it suits
- Publishers with a single country audience that converts within the same visit.
- Retail reviewers (retail) who want a plain cost per sale payout.
- Publishers running deal or price comparison pages, where a sale lands quickly.
Who should look elsewhere
- EarnKaro, where Up to 50% profit, 10% lifetime referral adds referral income beyond sales.
- Influenciador Magalu, if Up to 12% per sale is the per sale rate your traffic earns instead.
- CashKaro, where 10% of friend's cashback is the model, for publishers chasing cashback rather than sale income.
Commission and cookie
Mercado Libre Mexico pays Up to 24% per sale on a cost per sale basis (cps), so money follows a completed order rather than a click or a lead. The cookie window is 1, which means a link has to convert inside the visit that carries it. Recurring commission: no, so repeat buyers add nothing to a settled payment. Retail publishers comparing windows across programmes will read that as the deciding point.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Mercado Libre Mexico pay per sale?+
The programme pays Up to 24% per sale for a completed sale. Payment is tied to the order rather than the click, so a referral that ends in a purchase is what counts. The retail vertical is the only one the offer covers.
How long is the cookie window?+
The cookie window is 1, so a sale has to happen in the same visit that the link was clicked. That sits well below the ecommerce median of 30 days, so any plan that depends on a later return is weak here.
Is there any recurring commission?+
Recurring commission: no. The cps model pays on the completed sale itself, so a buyer who returns and buys again adds nothing to a past payment. Anyone counting on subscription or repeat purchase income should read that clearly before joining.
Which country does the programme cover?+
Coverage is single country, so the programme is built for a single market rather than a global audience. Publishers whose traffic sits mainly outside that country gain little from the links, since the retail catalogue and the buyers behind it are local.
Can you earn from direct links as well as referrals?+
Yes. The programme supports direct and referral, so a publisher can use plain links to product pages and a referral link in the same mix. Because the model is cps, both routes pay only once a sale completes.
What kind of products can be promoted?+
The catalogue is retail, so this is a general retail programme for everyday goods rather than a niche such as finance or travel. Publishers with a product review habit fit the catalogue better than publishers writing about software or lending.
Who gets the most out of this programme?+
Publishers with a single country audience that buys quickly. A cookie window of 1 rewards a reader who completes a purchase in the same visit, so deal posts, price comparisons and seasonal gift guides work better than a slow, long read that sends traffic away.
How does it compare with EarnKaro and Influenciador Magalu?+
EarnKaro adds terms of its own, with Up to 50% profit, 10% lifetime referral, while Influenciador Magalu pays Up to 12% per sale. Mercado Libre Mexico sits on a cost per sale model (cps) with a shorter cookie window, so the choice turns on audience location and how fast your readers buy.
