Pinterest Shopping
Pinterest Shopping gives merchants a way to display products through Product Pins, which can show details such as price and availability and send shoppers to a retailer’s website. Merchants can upload catalogs to make Pins in volume, group products, and create shopping ads. Product Pins can also circulate organically on Pinterest or be featured on a merchant profile through a public board. Any business account can tag products and create Product Pins, but ads and enhanced distribution require merchant review. Checkout takes place on the merchant’s app or website, not on Pinterest. Product uploads can use integrations including Adobe Commerce, Nuvemshop, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify, VTEX, and WooCommerce. Catalog feeds can be TSV, CSV, XML using RSS 2.0 or ATOM 1.0, or Google Sheets; a retail catalog can contain up to 20 million products. Catalog setup requires a business account, a claimed website, the Pinterest tag, and a site that meets merchant guidelines. Product listings are free; campaigns are paid. Pinterest Shopping is available on Android, iOS, web, and API.
