About Mercado Shops
Mercado Shops was a digital storefront service that let sellers on the marketplace build and run their own branded online shop while still using the group's logistics, advertising and payments. In January 2025 the company announced its migration to "Mi Página", which does much the same job but lives inside the marketplace rather than as an external shopfront, and Mercado Shops was discontinued as of 31 December 2025.
