A platform built for shopping

Your audience already uses Pinterest to shop. Reach people when they’re primed to buy and get better lower funnel results.

Upload products

Better results, from start to cart

Strong purchase intent

The #1 reason people use Pinterest is to discover new brands and products.1

Super shoppers

People who use Pinterest weekly shop more often and spend more every month.2

Standout results

New ad solutions are bringing brands even more outbound clicks and conversions.3

Step 1

Get ready to sell

If they can’t find it, they can’t buy it. Make product Pins to reach more shoppers and nudge them down the funnel.

There’s a stack of Pins, but only the top Pin is visible. The Pin promotes a pair of black slingbacks with a rhinestone buckle on it. There’s a folder icon next to the Pin.

Make product Pins

Pinterest Catalogs pull information directly from an existing product feed. Just connect your data source and we’ll automatically make a product Pin for every listing.

For even better Pins at scale, toggle on Performance+ creative optimizations. This automatically scales your product Pins to additional formats to increase distribution and performance.

The Pinterest API for Shopping is the quickest way to upload large inventories. It’s best for brands that already use other APIs and manage complex product listings.

We offer seamless integration with Adobe Commerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify and Woo. Connect your storefront to Pinterest, and we’ll make Pins for your existing product listings.

If you don’t have a feed, you can manually tag products. You can even tag multiple products within the same scene. To do this, look for the “Add products” menu within the Pin creation tool.

Step 2

Scale results with ads

Boost success with campaigns tailored to lower funnel goals. Catalog sales campaigns require a product feed, while conversion campaigns do not. Choose based on your goals and setup or run both types for even more impact. For quicker setup and automated optimizations, enable Performance+.

Catalog sales campaigns

Speed through setup with campaigns that pull from a product feed. Expanded targeting and dynamic retargeting make it simple to reach the right audience, while optimized bidding helps ensure results. You can promote specific products or use personalized Collections ads to show each shopper dynamic creative.

A stack of Pins with only the top one visible shows a Collections ad. In the ad, there’s a pair of black dress shoes, with three photos of other shoes displayed underneath.

Conversion campaigns

Conversion campaigns include goals like add to carts, online sales and offline sales. They’re great for brands that don’t have a product feed or want more flexible targeting. Promote individual products or use multi-asset formats to showcase multiple items at once. Then, use optimized bidding for the best results.

A carousel ad features a pair of pink sneakers. Next to it, there is a line graph indicating growing sales.

Step 3

Ensure a seamless checkout

Make it easy for shoppers to buy with special enhancements. Ad formats with direct links take people directly from your ad to your site or store, removing the closeup step. Mobile deep links ensure people land on a specific product listing on your site or app.

You can also use sales and promotional features on image, video or shopping ads. These features can help draw attention to promotions, seasonal sales and product discounts.

An image of a retailer’s website (called Klowthing), features a pair of yellow chunky sneakers with an “Add to cart” button underneath it.

Step 4

Measure and optimize

Ensure visibility

Make sure to add the Pinterest tag and enable the Conversions API. These tools help connect the dots between actions on Pinterest and actions elsewhere.

A yellow icon shows a line graph that’s trending upwards.
Evaluate campaign results

Monitor results  as you go with Pinterest Analytics and Conversion Insights, then use campaign reporting for wrap results. Your Pinterest team can also set up custom studies for metrics like conversion lift or in-store traffic.

A yellow icon shows two rectangles. The rectangle on top has a checkmark on it.
Assess channel impact

Work with one of our approved partners to go deep on cross-channel impact. Tools like multi-touch attribution or media mix modeling help you compare results and efficiency.

Frequently asked questions

Anyone with a business account can tag products and create product Pins. To access additional features and ads, your business will need to go through a merchant review process. Learn more in our merchant guidelines.

It’s free to put your products on Pinterest, and you can even tag products in organic Pins. You’ll only pay if you decide to run campaigns.

Nope! Pinterest doesn’t charge to add products to the platform or take a commission from anything you sell.

Instead of having a dedicated place on the platform for shopping, shopping is native to the whole Pinterest experience. That reflects how people actually use Pinterest to shop: They’re looking at brands and products across the entire platform rather than in one specific spot.

Rather than handling checkouts on Pinterest itself, we optimize for high-quality handoffs to your own app or site. For many Pin formats, you can use direct links or mobile deep links to reduce friction and streamline the buying process. These features send people directly to your site or app, removing the close-up step you may see on other Pins.

First, make sure you’re following our creative best practices and creating inspiring, actionable content. You can also apply for the Verified Merchant Program for additional merchant features. Eligible brands get a “verified” badge on their profile and access to other exclusive features. You can learn more about organic resources for merchants on the Pinterest Create site.
