Our account was banned right after installing this App. We didn't use pinterest much in the past, so we had round about 10 Pins and two boards in total. Notheless, the account was deactivated instantly without a warning or any reasoning. That is the most terrible shopify App experience ever.
Installed on June 6 and it has never worked. Contacted support and was told the features I have been trying to use (Shopify sales channel and Instagram import) are or have been deprecated. I am not a Pinterest user, and all I wanted was to allow Pinterest users to Pin my images, and this experience has been so terrible I will never use Pinterest.
Only I have troubles to connect all the time I tried? Now, a month ago, 2 month ago and still didn't get luck..
I keep getting the error messages: "Too few of the Product IDs included in your Add to Cart events match the Product IDs in your Catalog" and "Too few of the Product IDs included in your Checkout events match the Product IDs in your Catalog." I emailed [email protected], so I'm hoping they can help me resolve the issue.
Same thing happened to me. The app also told me I didn't follow Pinterest guidelines. The app has not worked from day one. I do still have my Pinterest account and there is no notification there at all.
If I could leave a negative review, I would! When I first try to link my products listing 8 months ago to Pinterest using an official third party app from Shopify and the help of the Pinterest team, I got my account banned the second after it started working. And the technical support that had been helping me just stopped answering my messages. It took me 8 months to have them recognise their mistake and reactivate my account, during which I went from nearly half a million views per month to a couple thousands. As I thought it was all sorted now, I tried installing the app but never got it to work, and reading other reviews, I decided to give up as I don't want to have my account banned again for no reason. That's really a shame, not to mention that when they reestablished my account it sounded like "oups we made a mistake" but no apologies for the business loss and absolutely no explanations. Which is a bit light considering the prejudice. So think about it twice before installing the app, if it goes wrong there is no customer support and not only you'll be banned but all existing pins pointing at your domain will be labelled and showcased to others (human and bots) users as spam, you won't even get access to your accounting info if you advertised with Pinterest.
BEFORE the update it worked fine. Now , if someone clicks on my links on pinterest, it wont bring them to my store. I don't know what else to do. Its been months and I cant get it to work. This is very frustrating. I would love to have someone assist me with this matter.
I have been trying to connect Pinterest to my Shopify website for over a month and this is so frustrating. As a one woman boutique owner I don't have time to mess with something that shouldn't be this hard. I'm about ready to just give up. I also received a disapproved verified merchant email stating my business does not meet the business guidelines. Very insulting as I have a professional website with clear photos of what my products are, which is women's fashion and accessories. My business has nothing that is bulleted in the email so I'm not sure what is going on. I've already contacted support and thought my problems were fixed but its worse than before. I'd give a negative review if I could.
I would give 0 stars if it would let me. We had 181K views monthly on our Pinterest page then we installed the new app 4 times and it still shows unsupported on our channel. We have been in talks with Pinterest support for the last 10 days and they still can't figure out the problem. Now our monthly view has dropped to 30K. Years of hard work down the drain with no resolution in sight. They just keep email me telling me to be patient. They are working on it while our account goes down the drain.
Doesn't work. It says Pinterest is "unsupported" in my Sales Channels. It worked fine for years then all of a sudden switched off. Don't even bother trying to get help on this. They'll send you back to Pinterest to sort it out.
Wow... what a terrible experience so far. Pinterest says my shop doesn't meet their guidelines because I don't have shipping policy (which isn't true) ... I've appealed and send the URL 3 times and they keep rejecting with no explanation. I feel like this app was hyped and launched before they figured this all out. Very frustrating!!
App is not sending brand or vendor data, it only seems to be sending product type, title, image and description. App is not showing rich data, no price, no availability. When I ask why they tell me Pinterest NOW only shows rich pin data and price for verified merchants. Going through Verified Merchant process ended with a REJECTED note and the only details it shows for reason is "Account does not meet the criteria for verification" but does not tell you what is missing and forces you to wait a month before you can try again. Reaching out to support with several tickets and no response in days. Broken app and so far no support.
UPDATE: Still does not work and according to other reviews, I'm not the only one with this issue. Pinterest needs to make this an app that actually works. I'll have to do each product manually.... Would love to integrate Pinterest but it won't connect at all. It just glitches. Have tried from both my phone and computer and it won't even bring me to a page to begin integration.
Hi, Is this still happening for you? Contact our support email at [email protected] and we can help you out.
The app pulls in products with zero inventory, leading to people on the Pinterest feed going to a set of products we’re not currently promoting. Unlike Facebook’s integration with Shopify, this app is super-limited in functionality, and may force us to build something from scratch :(
Thank you for the feedback. This was our first update and our goal is to continue to add more features in the app. Please reach out to us at [email protected] if we can be of assistance.
