How to connect your Squarespace eCommerce website to the Pinterest Verified Merchant Program

I made a blog post for anyone who is on a Squarespace e-commerce platform who wishes to enable the Verified Merchant Program on their Pinterest account. In the post I break down the following:

  • Claiming your website

  • Uploading your product catalog; including a CSV converter to be in compliance with Pinterest required formatting

  • Installing your Pinterest Tag

  • Adding the event code of ‘page view’; to properly install these since Pinterest recently updated their API you will need to be in developer mode.

  • Adding the event code ‘add to cart’; to properly install these since Pinterest recently updated their API you will need to be in developer mode.

  • Adding the event of ‘check out’; to properly install these since Pinterest recently updated their API you will need to be in developer mode.

In addition to following the above technical steps, you will need to apply and be approved by following the guidelines that Pinterest requires. All of this info and links are also included in the blog post. 

Good luck and one last thing to keep in mind. It takes time for the changes you make on your Squarespace site to propagate properly on Pinterest's end. These changes can take upwards of 72 hours or more to reflect inside your Business Hub. Be patient.
