Frequently asked questions about Pinterest Pins
To create an Idea Pin, you must be a "Creator," which is Pinterest lingo for having a business account. The ability to create an Idea Pin is also restricted by location and may or may not be available in your country (although all Pinterest users worldwide can at least view Idea Pins). If Idea Pins are available to you, you'll find them by clicking Create and then Create Idea Pin. From here, you have tons of ways to build out your Pin, including Idea Pin exclusives like video recording, voice recording, or background music. Pinterest's mobile app is a great way to create an Idea Pin because you can directly record, edit, and upload videos to the platform.
As a personal user, there are two ways to pin on Pinterest. You can download the Pinterest browser button to quickly pin any image you come across online, or you can create an original Pin by uploading your own image or video to your own board. If you're a Pinterest business user, then the latter is your go-to method (which Pinterest calls "building a Pin" for business accounts). Everything you pin will be placed onto a board of your choice, and you can always create new boards as you go along.
Product Pins are a type of "rich pin," which pull data automatically from a third party (like your website) and display it directly within Pinterest. To display your website products as Product Pins, you'll simply add a bit of markup code to the header of the website pages on which your products live. Some knowledge of code may be helpful here, but it really just involves copy-pasting—so it isn't too scary. After you've added Pinterest's code to your website, you'll run Pinterest's rich pin validator to confirm the set-up. Even better news for Shopify users: you can skip the copy-paste step and go straight to the rich pin validator.
