Pinterest

no longer works keeps saying Catalog needs attention and never updates anymore. was working fine and now has just quit working. do not install this

This app used to work, then it just stopped....Doesnt connect anymore I figured they got rid of the app until I saw it listed here. Dont bother..
***Update- have been with pinterest for about 3 years- just got booted for not meeting merchant requirements- yet they dont tell you out of my 3000 products what products dont meet their requirements. Moving on and forgetting pinterest....just gave it 1 star for lack of concern when it comes to helping one of their long term merchants. Skip the aggrevation if you can. Better off creating a pinterest acct and pinning your products to your profile for your business.

I keep getting the error messages: "Too few of the Product IDs included in your Add to Cart events match the Product IDs in your Catalog" and
"Too few of the Product IDs included in your Checkout events match the Product IDs in your Catalog." I emailed shopify-help@pinterest.com, so I'm hoping they can help me resolve the issue.

Pinterest refuse toujours mon compte, je leurs envois un mail pour savoir pourquoi, et il m'envoi cette fois ci un refus pour des critères manquants. ET quand je leur envoi la preuve que tout y est, je suis toujours bloqué. Brève personne au service client quand sa ne fonctionne pas. En espérant que ça fonctionne pour vous, dans le cas contraire, débrouillez-vous.

I do not understand why my store has passed the audit and yet it shows that I do not meet, and the complaint is not restored

Its been over a year now with multiple people complaining of the way the app and Pinterest select the product image for displaying with your pin and nothing has been done. We select our images in Shopify with the best image showcasing our product first so cannot fathom why Pinterest would choose random images from those available. Some that are not even showcasing the product but are showing options, or advertising social media.
Support has been absolutely rubbish and not worth investing in any type of advertising when they cant even get the correct product images showing.

It is a hassle trying to connect the app. I've cleared the cache and history. I've enabled cookies and gave Pinterest access to connect to Shopify. However, it continues to reroute. I've used safari, chrome, and Firefox via website and mobile. The "pintegration" sucks and needs to be updated.

I received most consistent traffic to my shop. Also, the initial promotional gift was nice. I didn't know how much influence Pinterest has on shoppers.

UPDATE: Merchant Support has been extremely disappointing. I loved the Pinterest sales channel until now...

Instead of communicating to fix something minor on your site before a deadline, they remove your merchant status 1st! This makes you look fraudulent to your Pin followers and anywhere your Pin profile has been shared. It literally took 2 mins to change what they wanted but it took 3 support agents and 2 days for someone to state exactly what was needed instead of being told to "read the guidelines." Received an email that the merchant status was restored but, our catalog feed doesn't load to Pinterest even though it hasn't been altered on our side in 2 yrs. The shopify app states the feed is active and connected to pinterest but the pinterest biz page says error-no ingestion for over a week now with no steps provided to resolve. The support agent repeated "read the guidelines," there's an issue with the feed and to make (unstated) changes. They gave no exact details of what to fix. Then we received another email: "Please complete any outstanding steps, if any, so you can submit your application to the Verified Merchant Program" but the link only goes to to the pinterest home page! They make you play a mystery game of "what will fix the mystery issue?"

I guess I'm expecting support to want to help resolve but it comes off as dismissive.

Despite multiple attempts to contact their support, I still get no help at all. I made an account, put in my billing information and all relevant information for my company and website, and seconds after my account was suspended. I then tried with several other accounts and several other emails, and the exact same thing happened many times. on top of that I have an active campaign that I cannot delete because I need to be logged into a Pinterest account in order to delete it. Pinterest support says "It shows your account violated our policy". HOW?!?! It was made 3 seconds ago. I get zero support and no explanation. DO NOT RECOMMEND.

The merchant account has not been approved as for some reason the source URL is not linking to my website, but some random Google URL. I have no idea where this is being picked up from or how to fix it, and as usual the 'help centre' just give you a copy and paste answer that is no help at all! If there is a proper person at Pinterest that can help i would be most grateful. Thanks!
