Mavely vs Pinterest Shopping

Mavely helps creators share shoppable SmartLinks for participating brands and earn commissions from resulting sales. SmartLinks route shoppers to purchase locations while tracking clicks, conversions, sales, top products, and earnings through real-time insights. Creators can earn affiliate commissions, paid brand campaign fees, referral commissions, and monthly bonuses; the bonus program can add up to 25% on top of earnings, with up to $200,000 in monthly bonus payouts. Payouts are biweekly and paid 45 days after purchase. SmartLinks can be created through the web app, iOS or Android app, or Chrome and Safari extensions. Joining requires account signup and verification, with no fee, application, or minimum follower count. Mavely also offers dedicated account managers, creator programs, webinars, courses, and regional meetups. For brands, it provides creator discovery, campaign management, performance analytics, payments, optimization packages, and full-service campaigns. The platform was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Chicago.

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.
