Since Pinterest likes to change things every quarter it seems, here's what we do when tagging products. On mobile: you can only tag products while you're creating a Pin. Once it's published you can't add a tagged product. On Desktop: you can add a tag to an already published pin by clicking on the pin for the "close up", click on the shopping bag icon in the top left of the Pin image. Or you can tag products while creating a pin by hoving over the Pin image and selecting the tag icon.

I had to watch this twice because I didn't process to any of the words you said the first time. I was fixated simply on your unique voice. Great info. Desktop only for old edits. Got it.

Love your presentation style. Relaxed, to the point, not talking super super super fast with a million cuts all jammed together. Thanks.

OMG! I didn't know I could do this. Thank you so much!

[viru]

It's your attention to details for me... I followed you straight up after listening to you

This is great! I was listening the Kate on the podcast and stopped to watch this video. Thanks so much for the instructions! If you have any special tips for pinning products from Amazon or other retailers please let us know.

Thanks for this info. This is not only impossible to figure out for a new Pinterest pinner, but it's also very hard to find out online how to do it. I had to use filter settings in YouTube to find this video.

Thank you for your video :) I'm really new to Pinterest. I watched your video and I created a business account. But I have two completely different shops on Etsy, so do I create two different Pinterest Business accounts for each shop, or do I create different boards for each shop, but keep them under ONE Pinterest account? Or how doest that work? In one of my shops, I sell printable junk journal pages and kits and in my other shop I sell printable greeting cards, party favors and wall art. Should that all be in one Pinterest account or two different ones? Thank you in advance!! Also, do I really need covers for my Pinterest boards?

Hi, great content I don't get the shopping bag symbol on my old pins do you know why that is?

[youssefelchahal]

Great video with simple instructions to follow... just a quick question on campaigning on Pinterest... how effective is it and how much does it cost? I'm asking as I'm a newbie and still trying to figure things out... thanks in advance!

[jonathanrice]

Thanks! Can you still tag products on a video pin? And can those products actually be image pins that link to blog posts?

[EricWertz]

So for some reason I don't have the little shopping bag icon when I go back to an already published pin on desktop! Any idea what? Also, I had no clue I was able to tag products in a pin - I thought only brands could do that! I'm not able to do it while uploading from desktop which is where I prefer to post from, but when I go into the app, I see the option to tag products there. Why wouldn't the same features be available both in app and on desktop?! Any idea as to why the shopping bag icon would not be visible for me to click on desktop? Thanks!

This right here ! I’m and Amazon affiliate and from my understanding Pinterest doesn’t appreciate you putting the affiliate product links in the destination link so this is the proper way to add the affiliate links I assume

I am completely new to Pinterest (as a business owner) and often get the feeling that I am 10 years too late to catch up on everything.
Thank you so much for your short and precise video. It helps a lot.
I would have a question, just to make sure that I understood it correctly.
If I have for example a Print on Demand Backpack in 3 different colors in one pin, I could make 3 different tags, on that pin, each tag for one backpack with the URL linked to that specific backpack in the color shown?
I think I have seen something like that in a product pin somewhere.
Or would it be smarter to make a single pin for every backpack (just one color per pin). I don't want to get banned for Pin spamming or something...

Another question: the "This is an affiliate link or sponsored product" Checkbox.
Since I sell my designs on Print on Demand Products, I think that does not apply to my Pins, or does it?

Well, hello. You're so helpful. When I go to tag products on mobile and go to add the link to my merch shop, it doesn't allow me to do that and gives me an error message in red. Does tagging only work for established affiliate links, Amazon, LTK, etc.?

[illusion]

Do we need to have a claimed website to put in the destination url? Or is it possible to put an affiliate link at the destination url and then tag products

[rahimeenjawwad]

Hey, I really appreciate this video, and it's pretty useful, however, I am not getting that shopping bag icon that you pointed out in 5:39. Does that shopping bag still exist in 2024 or is it just me that's not getting it? Also, I tried the phone sticker thingy you told us, but it doesn't give me the "product" sticker.

Hi all,
Anyone faced the experience that after you create your pin in Canvas for example that template has office products then you try to get your pin ready to be published on Pinterest but you can't find the matching products on that template from Amazon because I am using my custom made PC and no longer I can have access to the screenshot feature on the app to search for products? So I can't download any app on my PC just a few offered by the Microsoft Store.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
