Hi 

How are you? I have been trying to contact pinterest team for a month now. No one replied. Can anyone help please? 

I have fixed all the problems in the website. Also I only appealed once but I don't know how it happened twice. 

Can anyone help please? I only rely on pinterest. Without that, I would have to close my store. Please help.

Hi glad you made it to the PBC!

I had a look at your website the most obvious issue I was able to find was dealing with your website policies.

Please consider www.websitepolicies.com 

I have recommended them before and I have used them myself www.bodymindmood.com

They are worth the money (not expensive for legal docs) and completely above board.

Remember Pinterest is technically a third party.

Your policies need to be more polished and you definitely need a single page for Contact Us | About Us, also include an actual Cookie Policy and your popup needs an explanation as to why your using cookies see the website above I have recommended.

Lastly, ensure everything email address | website | social media are consistent in name and things like .com.

I hope this helps a little bit please do let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you.

@bodymindmood   Just like @tipsylook - I am having the SAME thing. The first time, I went back and discovered that indeed the site was not up all the way, so I fixed all of that. I submitted an appeal. Was denied again for reasons as above.  I do have all of the policies in place in links in my footer menu. 

Any other advice would be most helpful! My site is:    mmjjewelry.com    for anyone that might can take a look and help... 

If I understand right, I only have one appeal left, and really do not want to waste it.

Thank you for your reply. I have checked the policy which seems right to me. As I spoke to shopify about this, they reviewed the policy. They said, It looks good. Also, I have a cookie policy in the bottom. Can you help please?

Hi there:

Consider the suggestions I have made and if you are really uncertain consider checking out 

Pinterest Merchant Guidelines

The above are Guidelines set out by Pinterest - I have always suggested to people who are applying to go through the Guidelines and ensure that everything is in order before applying or appealing a declined application.

I hope you are able to sort this out and get your Verified Merchant Status.

I am tagging @PinterestJoan to see if perhaps there is some more information available.

I have been trying to become verified merchant. I am getting the same error message from pinterst every time. I have appealed only one time. It is showing, I dont have any appeal left. Please anyone help.

1. Social Links are broken.
My output: I have fixed it already. It is in the bottom. Please take a look at the bottom.
2. About us not there . It is there. First, I named it to Who we are. Now I have changed it to about us. It is in the bottom.
3. Merchant does not meet minimum website quality requirements.
My Output: I changed the old theme to a new theme. It looks great. Please take a look and decide.
4. Domain age: It is an old domain.

Please fix this issue. Pinterest is very important for my business. Pinterest helped me a lot. Please accept my merchant application. Please at least contact me what is going on. Please help me.
