What rejected_insufficient_data means in Mercado Pago

Payment status: rejected

Short answer

The payment was rejected because some of the mandatory information was missing from the request. The code does not say which field is missing.

If you are the buyer

Required information was missing from the payment. If the form asks for anything else, fill it in; otherwise contact the seller.

If you are the seller

This points at your integration. Ask your developer to compare the payment request with the required fields.

If you are the developer

General engineering advice (not from Mercado Pago's documentation): Compare the payment request with the required fields and fix whatever is missing before sending a new request.

The meaning comes from the Mercado Pago developer documentation, verified on 2026-11-04. Buyer and seller steps follow from it; developer notes are general engineering practice, not Mercado Pago documentation.
