Hi Ivania,

I have that error too and am unclear as to how to proceed with this issue.

Am I right in thinking that a customer has to go through my checkout? (Point 3 and 4)

This all seems very complicated!

Many thanks, Jo

@tapestrystitcher Hi Jo, welcome to the Community!

Yes, you are correct. As mentioned, you'll need to have at least one checkout event.

Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions!

I have this same problem with the exact same date. Seems weird. And I don't understand the solution they are giving at all.

It's not an issue of not having sales, because I have had recent sales.

It seems like they are trying to get me to do Pinterest ads, so I set one up for $1 per day. Hoping that gives them what they want.

I'm sorry, this doesn't help me. I've had sales in the last 30 days. So if things are working, those 4 things should have happened. Is there any more information you can give me?

Hi @poppiwinkle!

In order to continue a Verified Merchant, this 4 things should happen in the last 30 days as mentioned in this article.

You can check if your Pinterest Tag is tracking all of the activity on your website, by going to Ads > Conversions > Events history.

I checked your website, and it seems like you are using Shopify. If one of these events hasn't been tracked, I would recommend reinstalling your Pinterest + Shopify app.

Give us a shout if you have any other questions!

Hi - same error message, and wanting to be extra clear on the requirement - do we need someone to check out after arriving through Pinterest?  Or any sale on our website will do?

Hi @tenthousanddandelions, welcome to the PBC!

Thanks for reaching out about this.

The checkout event can be done either of the ways you mentioned, as long as the person completes the checkout.

I hope this clarifies, let us know if we can help you with anything else!
