What is Mercado Livre?

In fact, Mercado Livre is an e-commerce platform of Argentine origin, founded in 1999 by Marcos Galperin.

Currently, it is one of the largest and most popular companies in the sector in Latin America, being present in several countries, including Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Peru, among others.

In short, the platform allows sellers and buyers to connect and carry out buying and selling transactions for new and used products from a wide variety of categories.

Mercado Livre also offers additional services, such as Mercado Pago, which is an online payment system; Mercado Envios, a logistics service to facilitate the shipping of products; and Mercado Shops, which allows sellers to create their own personalized online stores.

How to work as a Mercado Livre delivery person?

In fact, if you are interested in working on this platform, it is essential to understand MercadoLivre’s “crowdshipping” and “flex shipping”. Next, we'll detail how it all works. The goal is to make multiple deliveries daily.

There are two types of work available: flex shipping and crowdshipping. Mercado Livre is one of the largest retailers in Latin America and, due to the pandemic, its sales increased by more than 120% in the last year – impressive growth.

Crowdshipping allows ordinary people to become collaborators, making deliveries for Mercado Livre. This concept is based on the collaborative economy and allows anyone to participate.

Firstly, you need to download an application to facilitate the entire process. Deliveries must be made by car or motorcycle, to ensure quick customer service. The app is easy to use, similar to Uber, Rappi and other delivery services.

This option is advantageous as it allows for flexible scheduling. Since 2016, the “eu deliver” platform has acted as a pioneer in the connection between freelance professionals and platforms. 

To get started, access the option “I want to be a delivery person”, register quickly, create your login and password and start your work.

It is important to highlight that registration is free, and the platform mediates the relationship with Mercado Livre. To validate your bank account, you will need to upload documents such as identity, CPF, driver's license and proof of residence.

Advantages of working on the platform

• Flexible schedules: One of the main attractions of working at Mercado Livre is the possibility of organizing your own time and adapting it to your personal needs.
• Extra income: If you already have a job, this activity can provide additional earnings, complementing your main income.
• Opportunity for the unemployed: People who are without work and own a vehicle can take advantage of this chance to stay active and generate income.
• Emergency and complementary solution: The platform is a viable alternative in situations of financial urgency and, in other cases, it can be a complement to increase family income.
