Connect your Pinterest account

To authorize your account:

1. Open the Connected Accounts panel.
2. Click Connect Account.
3. Select Pinterest from the Social Accounts menu.
4. Log in using your Pinterest username and password. 
5. Click Allow to authorize the connection between Pinterest and your site. We'll never post anything to Pinterest without your permission—this authorization adds an option to create a new pin when you publish new content.
6. If you want to push content to Pinterest automatically, ensure Show Push Option is checked, and choose a push target from the Select Board drop-down menu.
7. Click Save.

Note: It can take a moment for Pinterest to verify your site. If you had a different website URL on your Pinterest profile before this, an error message will display. To fix the issue, add the correct URL to your Pinterest profile.

Add a social icon

To display a social icon:

1. Open the Social links panel.
2. Add your Pinterest profile link. 
3. Check Show Social Icon.
4. Click Save.

For more detailed steps, visit Adding social links.

After adding your Pinterest link, the social icon will automatically display in most templates, but not all of them. You can also add social icons using the social links block.

Add a Share button

Version 7.1 doesn't support built-in Share buttons.

To help visitors share your content on Pinterest, you can add a Pinterest Share button to the following content:

• Album pages
• Blog posts
• Gallery images
• Products

Tip: Pinterest only appears as a sharing option if the item has a featured image.

Push content to Pinterest automatically

To learn how to push content to Pinterest and customize your posts, visit Sharing content on social media.

Add Save buttons

You can add Save buttons that appear when hovering over images in image blocks, gallery blocks (Slideshow, Grid, and Stacked only), store pages, individual products, and blog posts.

To learn more, visit Adding Pinterest Save buttons.

View Pinterest Analytics

If you have a Pinterest Business Account, connect Pinterest with your Squarespace site to see additional metrics in your Pinterest Analytics page. To learn more, visit Pinterest's documentation.

Track sales with Pinterest Tag (optional)

Pinterest Tag is Pinterest's analytics tool that tracks visitor actions on your site after seeing your Promoted Pins. You can add Pinterest Tag code to Squarespace to track users who check out on your site after seeing your product on Pinterest.

Adding the Pinterest Tag includes using code injection. This is available in Core, Plus, Advanced, Business, Commerce Basic, and Commerce Advanced plans. To learn more, visit Choosing the right Squarespace plan.

To use Pinterest Tag, you’ll need:

• A Pinterest business account
• A Pinterest Ads account
• Promoted Pins of your products from your Squarespace site

To get started, visit Pinterest’s documentation.

Note: When adding the code to Squarespace, ensure that you copy both sets of code to track checkout correctly.

After you've completed these steps, you can use the Tag data to measure return on ad spend (ROAS) and create audiences to target with your Promoted Pins. Orders placed in test mode don’t count toward analytics.

Rich Pins aren't supported

Rich Pins are Pinterest Pins that include extra information, like your site title and product price. Rich Pins aren't supported when visiting Squarespace sites using a custom domain.
