Pinterest

It was a few clicks and Pinterest was set up with Shopify! Thanks for being awesome and making this as streamline as possible. I'm a small business owner and not a professional digital content manager (didn't go to school for it, but manage my shop's accounts). With this process being easy to use, I was set up in less than 5 minutes. I couldn't be more grateful. Google was about 2 weeks.

This app has been getting me website clicks from various cities and countries which is nice. My only issue is it loads one pin of each size of product which is a nightmare to get rid of then there, the issue of pulling product from the site and having to try to find the pins to delete so customers aren't getting a 404 error. Perhaps this is my issue, I'm not too familiar with the set ups, I'm still learning.

It was simple, easy to follow. I look forward to showcasing my resortwear collections on Pinterest. I am also more inclined to use Pinterest as a platform, primarily because I use it for inspiration. Moreover, they actually have partners | managers that help walk you through marketing and ads. As a fairly new business, this type of support is critical and much appreciated.

Connecting Pinterest to our Shopify channel was one of the best moves for us. Pinterest as a platform is amazing on its own, but and being able to seamlessly connect our community of fans directly to our shop is a no-brainer- and that it is free? Incredible. When we connected we also had an associated marketing credit, great way to open the door on advertising on Pinterest if you haven't yet. Be sure to ask about it!

App is not working correctly. I don't see my current products on the Shop area on my Pinterest Account. If a customer would like to see my products on the Board, won't be able to find them in the Shop Tab which is a bummer. In addition, I have created multiple tickets to get a Verified Merchant Badge and have never received a reply back. It would be nice if customer support can help Businesses with their issues and requests.

At first I had some difficulty trying to understand if submitting my billing info was going to obligate me to ads. Once I read through the content a little closer I understood that I would have to initiate an ad campaign to be obligated to any charges on my card. This was important to me because I'm first trying to see if my new Shopify shop is bringing in my Etsy customers and at least paying for itself before investing in ads.

As far as I can tell, this has been relatively easy to set up. I would still rather just have a simple ON button to click on the Shopify site, though, and then have the hook-up between the two platforms just "happen." A similar process for hooking up a new account or replacing an old one with a new one would also be great. A follow-up confirmation message, "Congratulations, your website and Pinterest are successfully integrated" would be nice.

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.

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 love using Pinterest when I'm not using it for business. It's really useful in helping me gather ideas for things that I'd like to create or for planting in a garden or whatever I can think of doing. But as a business owner and as a person that sees this happen to other business owners/content creators, it's far too easy for people to take screenshots of someone else's work, erase that person's signature, and post it as if it was their own work. On top of that, some people will use a person's artwork to benefit themselves without ever giving mention to the original content creator. I've seen that happen on Pinterest often.
