Pinterest

Not accepting new stores as shopify domain must be 9 months old? I think this is a clear competition bias favouring established shops. Unhappy to hear about this condition of use.

Shopify warned me before I downloaded that the app was not compatible with their platform. That's surprising for a major social media site to not have a functioning app. Second, I can't use the app or do anything on Pinterest because my domain is too new. You have to have a domain that's older than 9 months. As a cybersecurity professional, I understand that younger domains are higher risk, but new does not mean bad. If there are no threat or phishing reports then what's the big deal? I received advertising credits that I cannot use now. I guess they expect me to sell my products on other platforms and then come back when the time is right, but in reality I'm just deleting my account and never looking back. This has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Synced everything

Doesn’t work anymore

I love Pinterest! Since the very beginning and together with Shopify it works like a dream! Marketing is supereasy with Pinterest and love the insights it gives me.

I love Pinterest! it will help my website Keys2prosperity.shop to be promoted thanks

Will change to 5 stars if all goes well. We want to like Pinterest, but 7/10 stores will likely at one point encounter the "Merchant Not Approved". Reason?

Every newcomer to Shopify isn't an expert. As a result, they'll submit to Pinterest, only to find they weren't approved. The common reason? Their domain isn't old enough. We have one appeal remaining and we just began. We have 72K to invest into ads, but if we lose our appeal, it leaves us with a bad taste in our mouth, so we haven't gone forward in paying for ads on their platform (yet).

There's a "threat" feeling upon going through the steps, as if we're walking on eggshells. A platform this big should be welcoming and open to helping new merchants. I'm a software engineer, and am astounded that this is the only app that allows limited appeals for new merchants.

Pinterest needs to boldly specify or have something that reads the Shopify store's domain age, so that people don't feel discouraged right away like we did. We're extremely nervous and unsure whether to file an appeal now and things remain where they are. We have one left.

We were sure we should have won the first appeal, now we're going to wait a year, maybe more -- not just to get our feed on Pinterest, but to pay for ads. We may allocate our 72K budget into Meta Ads instead. See? You just lost a major advertiser. The way Pinterest encourages advertisers is beyond strange to me.

I've just started using it and haven't mastered it yet, so I'll follow up by sharing my experience with it!

It just doesn’t work, impossible to sync…

So far so good. Very easy to do, just follow instructions. Thank you for such an easy process.
