Pinterest Shopping review
A free catalog and ad toolkit for sending Pinterest shoppers to your store.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pinterest Shopping gives brands and merchants tools to publish products as shoppable Product Pins on Pinterest. Product details can include pricing and availability, while catalogs support larger product collections and product groups for management and advertising. It is aimed at businesses that want Pinterest discovery to support ecommerce activity, with shoppers directed to a merchant website or app to complete checkout. The service is available across web, iOS, and Android, making it suitable for catalog-led commerce connected to an existing store or app.
Pricing is centered on a freemium model. Adding products is free, and businesses can upload catalogs, create Product Pins, organize products into groups, and use product rich Pins that synchronize information from a merchant website. Payment applies when businesses run campaigns, including shopping ads that promote catalog products. The product therefore fits merchants that want to begin with organic product discovery and add paid promotion when needed, rather than businesses looking for a fixed subscription-based commerce platform.
Its strongest fit is an ecommerce operation with an established product catalog and a supported commerce platform. Integrations include Adobe Commerce, Nuvemshop, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, Shopify, VTEX, and WooCommerce, while ecommerce synchronization helps keep product information connected to the merchant site. The Pinterest tag tracks paid and organic conversion events, and direct links and mobile deep links can send shoppers to a website or app. Pinterest Shopping is less suitable for businesses that need native checkout within the social platform or livestreaming commerce. Merchants choosing it should be comfortable completing transactions on their own digital properties.
