Merchant does not meet minimum website quality requirements for Catalog

Hi all, 

 

Trying to figure out why Pinterest keeps denying us for their catalog. 

 

Their first reason was "We recommend ensuring that your domain has an authentic 'About Us' section, functional social media links and up to date contact information" 

 

And then we appealed because our website has all of the above.

 

Then their second reply was "Review our Merchant Guidelines for more detailed information on how you can get your products on Pinterest" and they didn't provide any more information. 

 

Not sure why they're denying us and I'm not sure what to do. We only have one appeal left. 

 

Our website is pressurebands (dot) com

 

Thanks so much, 

Ramona

We're having the same problem and no one is getting back to us.  It's been over 4 months.

Hi,

I am having the same issue. After reviewing the Merchant Guidelines, I cannot figure out where I would be in violation of the terms. Is it possible for Pinterest to give a specific example of the violation?

Thanks!

 You can find some reasons that may lead to a violation on our Merchant Guidelines

Thank you for the reply! After reviewing the Merchant Guidelines, I do not see how my feed is in violation. Can Pinterest provide a specific example such as 'Poor product images' or 'typos on product page'? Otherwise, I could spend months updating my website and still not address the exact issue for the disapproval!

@keepdoggiesafe I understand your frustration. If you feel like your feed is not in violation, I would recommend reaching out to our team -- this link goes directly to the team equipped to resolve account-specific issues like these.

Please work with that team on this as they partner closely with engineering who has the ability to diagnose any issues with Pinterest accounts.

I wish there was more I could do here but they are closer to the work being done to resolve your concern.
