Can I Connect Pinterest to Shopify?

Last updated on January 14, 2023 @ 10:31 am

Yes, you can connect your Pinterest account to Shopify. There are a few different ways to do this, and we’ll outline some of the most popular methods below.

PRO TIP: If you are considering connecting your Shopify account to your Pinterest account, be aware that this could potentially have some negative consequences. For example, if you have products on your Shopify store that are not appropriate for Pinterest, this could result in those products being flagged or removed from Pinterest. Additionally, if you do not carefully monitor the connection between your two accounts, it is possible that your Shopify account could be suspended or even banned from Pinterest.

1. Use the Pinterest Widget

The easiest way to connect your Pinterest account to Shopify is to use the Pinterest widget. This will allow you to automatically share your Shopify products on your Pinterest account.

To do this, simply go to Shopify Admin > Online Store > Themes > Edit code. Then, add the following code to the theme.liquid file:

<!-- Add this code to the theme.liquid file -->
<script type="text/javascript">
window.pinIt = window.pinIt || { loaded:false };
if (window.pinIt) {
if (typeof(window.pinIt.onLoad) == "function") { 
   window.onLoad(); }}
function async_load(){
  var s = document.createElement("script");
  s.type = "text/javascript";
  s.async = true;
  if (window.location.protocol == "https:"){
  s.src = "https://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit_main.js";} else {
  s.src = "http://assets.js";}
  var x = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];x.parentNode

2. Use the Pinterest Sales Channel

This is the easiest way to connect your Pinterest account to your Shopify store. Simply go to your Shopify admin panel, click on “Apps,” scroll down to the “Sales Channels” section, and click on “Pinterest.” From there, you can click on the “Add Channel” button and follow the prompts to connect your Pinterest account. Once connected, you can import your products from Shopify and create Pinterest pins for them. You can also set up automatic pins for new products.

3. Use a Third-Party Integration

If you use a third-party platform to manage your Pinterest account, such as Hootsuite or Buffer, you can connect your Pinterest account to your Shopify store through these platforms. Simply follow the prompts to connect your Pinterest account and start promoting your products on Pinterest.

By connecting your Pinterest account to your Shopify store, you can easily promote your products on Pinterest and drive traffic back to your store. This is a great way to reach a new audience and increase sales for your business.
