The Pinterest Conversions API provides more insight into Pinterest’s conversion impact across channels. With the right data, you can achieve better results and higher ROI in your campaigns. There are two ways to get started: via partners or with a direct integration.
Maximize conversions. Minimize complexity.
Pass web, app and offline data through the API. You can see how your marketing dollars on Pinterest are driving results across channels.
Brands using the Conversions API (CAPI) and Pinterest tag together measure an average 24% increase in attributed conversions.1
Optimize your campaigns and lower costs with these insights. On average, brands have seen a 9% improvement in cost per action.2
