I got this earlier today from Pinterest. @PinterestGabby Does it mean that websites are not necessary for affiliate links now?

Hi @myweddinginspirethank you for your question! 🙂 

I’d love to help out with this. Do you mind providing a bit more information and context so I can better assist you? Any details or screenshots will help. 

Bear in mind that we are only allowing links from approved affiliate partners and domains. You can use the affiliate link as a normal link and insert it on the destination link of the Pin. To learn more about our affiliate guidelines, visit our Community Guidelines.

Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you!

I don't have anything more than the details above that I "copy and pasted" I'm afraid. I assume it's something that Pinterest genuinely sent out , but perhaps not.

Hi @myweddinginspire!

Idea Pins are now Pins: we’re bringing the best of our new formats to all Pins! All the expressive features creators have come to love (like music, product tagging, stickers) and the features previously available to Pins (such as links, scheduling, post-publish editing, and different aspect ratios) are now available to all Pinners for video and image content. 

You can check more info on this PBC article with the FAQs related to our announced changes.

Hope this helps! Give us a shout if you need anything.
