Pinterest

useless app that gives nothing but problems when trying to publish your catalogue and sync your shopify store to pinterest. its main focus is a gateway for trying to run ads and even that is not done well.

Setting up my Pinterest shop has been an incredibly professional experience. Although we had some initial technical hurdles due to our large catalog size, the support from the team and the verification process through Yoti gave us great confidence. We are impressed with how 99% of our 171k products were seamlessly integrated. Looking forward to growing our brand on Pinterest!

So useless! The catalog uploaded to Pinterest has a separate listing for every variant, such as every single ring size!

According to the Pinterest rep setting up our ads: "Running campaigns on a fragmented catalog would waste budget and deliver a poor experience to shoppers."

The variant inflation we're seeing (63 products → 2,200+ listings) is a known challenge when item_group_id isn't being passed correctly.

Please fix ASAP!

Can unexpectedly cause account issues
We connected the Pinterest app to our Shopify store to sync products. Shortly after, our established Pinterest business account was deactivated with the reason “spam.” We didn’t spam users and didn’t request account closure. It looks like the automated catalog sync (many items created/updated in a short time) may trigger Pinterest’s anti-spam systems.
Recommendation for other merchants: sync in small batches (e.g., one collection first), double-check titles/descriptions/URLs, enable 2FA, and keep the violations/appeal portal handy.

I have spent 130 pounds on this garbage no sales which is understandable but no evidence of clicks and i was unable to cancel and plus a 74 pound ad credit which was not used so 130 pound down the drain avoid this site at all costs. I should be refunded for the rubbish i had to delete my account as well.

Absolutely no support. My account was hacked and I received no support. They deactivated it and that was it!

I don’t normally leave reviews on here but a fresh install of the Pinterest app on our Shopify store https://www.CraftedCoffee.co.uk went very smoothly. I would recommend doing on a desktop device, apart from the Instagram connection - that was easier using a mobile device, couldn’t get it to link on desktop. But overall the account setup took less than 15 minutes and our new merchant account was approved within the hour. Much better than a previous experience a few years ago.

White screen has never changed

works great

I see quite a few bad reviews on here but it was litearlly a few clicks to get set up and other than waiting 48 hours for account review as I have a lot of products to import, things have been seamless in setting up an account. Highly reccomended and I look forward to growing on Pintrest
