Pinterest

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.

After I installed the Pinterest app on Shopify I clicked on the green "Connect Pinterest Account" and then appears this "Account is suspended" red button.
Without warning, account suspended.
My Pinterest account was fine up until the moment I clicked on the "Connect Pinterest Account" ******Update******
My account was reinstated via email and came with an apology but no justification as to why this happened.
I'm a tad wary of Pinterest, now. Although, I have successfully re-installed the app my business Pinterest account is a bit dodgy. The people I used to follow (all of 3 people who are fellow creatives / friends) can not be followed. The amount of followers I had is half of what it used to be and when I ask my 3 friends / creatives to follow me, they can't. Going to leave the 1 star right there until I can work with Pinterest to resolve this issue. If it can't be resolved then there are many, many, more social media outlets there.
Wow!
What a day!

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!

Cette appli est catastrophique, elle ne fonctionne jamais, tout ce qu'elle sait faire c'est inonder ma boite mail de demandes de création d'annonces payantes. Vu que je n'accepte pas mon catalogue se retrouve effacé, mon compte est déconnecté de shopify ou alors je ne suis plus marchand approuvé...bref le trafic et la visibilité ne sont absolument pas au rdv!
Vraiment dommage!

will not finish set up. i've tried it for weeks. support has not been of any support. i have sent screenshots with erros and still nada.

The setup was easy, but the end result was poor. The majority of the Pins automatically created on Pinterest by the app do not show the primary image. What you end up with is a Pin where the image does not always reflect what is being advertised. It doesn't provide any favorable impressions for your brand, and there is no option to edit the Pin with the correct image. Pinterest states they use an algorithm to select the best image from your Shopify listing. Why? In just about every listing the primary image is going to be the best image. So why is an algorithm needed? Just select the primary image. Pinterest is aware of the issue and has been for more than a year now, but still has no idea as to when or if a fix will be implemented. I applaud Pinterest for offering a Shopify app that has the potential to do a lot of good things, but until the image issue is fixed it would be difficult at best to recommend the app.

After 5 years of using the Pinterest App through Shopify, feeding my products as shoppable pins and being an approved Merchant, Pinterest has kicked out every single seller of vintage or antique goods except for the big marketplaces.

we shouldn't have to put a payment option at the beginning of setting up the connection between our shopify and our pinterest.....NO OTHER platform does this! We would love to connect our online store to our pinterest, but NOT If you are needing payment information up front. .................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

you have denied by store because you state that i am a resale marketplace. Etsy is a resale marketplace that sells vintage items which are resale items. Ebay is also a resale marketplace, but i guess since i do not bring enough $$$ and just a small business. I am not allowed. You are not following your guidelines.
