Introducing Catalogues and more shopping on Pinterest

People come to Pinterest in a shopping mindset open to discovering products, which creates a great connection between Pinners and businesses. Pinners are looking for inspiration, and brands help make that inspiration a reality.

In the past year, we’ve been bringing together the worlds of visual search and shopping to make it easy to shop for anything you see on Pinterest, and for brands to reach people on Pinterest while they’re actively looking for inspiration.

Today we’re announcing our latest features including more spaces to shop with personalised recommendations for style and home decor boards, browsable sections of in-stock products from a specific brand, and shopping search. And, we’re launching Catalogues and Shopping Ads updates so brands can plug their products into new shopping spaces and have them seen by millions of people.

  • Shopping Ads (pictured above): We're making Shopping Ads available to all businesses through our self-serve tool Ads Manager. Once products are on Pinterest, brands can easily promote items from their existing product feed with Shopping Ads. Brands like Made.com are already using Shopping Ads in their campaigns and are seeing strong results.

  • Shop a brand: A new dedicated section from specific retailers is starting to roll out beneath Product Pins. You’ll soon be able to dive into a brand’s catalogue by clicking “more from [brand]”.

  • Personalised shopping recommendations: Alongside style, home, beauty and DIY boards, you’ll see in-stock ideas related to what you’ve been saving, to match your style. Just click “more ideas”, then the shopping tag to start shopping ideas picked for you. Tap + to quickly add the Pin to your board, or click the Pin to go straight to checkout on the retailer’s site.

  • Catalogues: Brands can now upload their full catalog to Pinterest and easily turn their products into dynamic Product Pins, which means more shoppable Pins across Pinterest. A new dashboard allows businesses to organise their feed so their products can be discovered and purchased by Pinners.

  • Shopping search: With more in-stock Product Pins, there are more products to search. Just search for a product like “midi skirt”, “men’s watches” or “outdoor furniture” and shopping results appear on the top of home feed. To start shopping, click “see more”.  

From Pin to purchase

These updates help retailers get in front of customers who are looking for related products, and Pinners to see great items that match their unique style and taste.

Personalised shopping recommendations

For us, it’s not just about adding one or two shopping features—shopping is everywhere on Pinterest.  You can search right from home feed for in-stock products, or visually search an object in a Pin to learn where to buy it, scroll beneath any style or home Pin to see Related Products, or discover new styles through personalised recommendations.

Keep an eye on more updates in the coming months.

Happy spring shopping!
