You must have an SSL certificate, connecting your website with the HTTPS protocol.

-
I already finished the configuration but the Sandbox environment is not working.
-
Remember that to test the Checkout Pro you must log out of your Mercado Pago account, as it is not possible to use it to sell and buy at the same time.
Please note that with the Test Environment enabled, the Checkout Pro does not send notifications as does the Custom Checkout.
-
How do I configure the sending of emails to my customers?

The configuration of sending emails must be done from the WooCommerce administrator. The Mercado Pago Plugin only contemplates sending transactions made in the Checkout Pro.

How can I set up PIX as a payment method?
-
PIX is a payment method that exists only in Brazil.
To enable PIX as a payment method in the Custom Checkout of your store, you need to have your key registered in Mercado Pago. See how to do it.
After registering the key, log into the WooCommerce administrator and navigate to the Payments section.
Look for the option Pague com PIX, configure it and activate PIX.
You can set up a time limit for customers to pay after they receive the code, among other settings.
