Hosted checkout lets merchants host their checkout page within a webview on the Pinterest app. This means people can browse products on their mobile devices, select their preferred product details from the product Pin, then jump straight to a merchant’s checkout page.

Shopify merchants that meet the requirements outlined below can enable hosted checkout within the Shopify app. Hosted checkout will only apply to organic product Pins, created from your catalog.
Requirements

Checkout via Shopify is currently available to certain US merchants who meet the following requirements: 

  • Shopify store has a US billing address
  • Member of the Verified Merchant Program 
  • Uses the Shopify app integration, and has at least one feed with the country set to ‘US’ and the locale set to contain ‘en-US’
  • Only has Shopify feeds (does not have active non-Shopify feeds uploaded to Pinterest) 
  • Accepts returns 
  • Has an email address for customer support inquiries
  • Exceeds monthly checkout conversions threshold

    • Note: We’re still rolling out this new feature and adjusting requirements as we go. If you’re not eligible and cannot enable checkout via Shopify yet, stay tuned.

    You can review your Pins using the following conversion source filters:

    Hosted checkout: Checkout conversion events that happen on hosted checkout-enabled Pins
    Offsite conversion: Conversion events that happen on your site after people have interacted with your Pins
    All conversions: Conversion events that happen on hosted checkout-enabled Pins, and on your site
  • Log in to your Pinterest business account or go to your Analytics page
  • Click Analytics at the top-left corner
  • Click Conversion insights
  • Below Conversion source, select All, Hosted checkout, or Offsite conversion

    • Select your Conversion window, Conversion content and additional Filters as needed. Note: If you’re reviewing hosted checkout data, only certain filter options will be available.
