Pinterest<\/a> and Shopify<\/a> have joined forces<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>enable<\/span><\/span>\u00a0retailers to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>upload products<\/span><\/span>\u00a0that form<\/span><\/span>\u00a0shoppable pins<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
By way of an app, retailers that use the Shopify ecommerce platform will be able to upload their catalogue of products to Pinterest quickly and easily. It\u00a0<\/span>was launched in the US and Canada in May and will be available to the UK in a matter of weeks.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Synchronising eCommerce and Social Media<\/h2>\n
The Pinterest app on Shopify will give retailers\u00a0<\/span>a number of<\/span>\u00a0tools<\/span>\u00a0to aid the\u00a0<\/span>synchronisation<\/span>\u00a0between their online shop and their Pinterest offering. These will include\u00a0<\/span>tag population, catalogue\u00a0<\/span>ingestion<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>daily\u00a0<\/span>updates to products<\/span>\u00a0and the option to\u00a0<\/span>spend on<\/span>\u00a0ads.<\/span>\u00a0Tracking and reporting<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0similar to\u00a0other social media advertising<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0will also be in the toolset.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/a>R<\/span>etailers\u00a0<\/span>can\u00a0<\/span>choose to take up paid ads or rely on organic methods to appear in Pinterest users<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00a0feed<\/span>\u00a0of suggested pins<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0Products will also be discoverable via a \u2018Shop\u2019 tab on\u00a0<\/span>the retailer\u2019s profile.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Having the app will enable retailers to remove the friction that occurs when<\/span>\u00a0a consumer finds\u00a0<\/span>something<\/span>\u00a0they like on Pinterest but cannot purchase it directly.\u00a0<\/span>Pinterest<\/span>\u00a0users will be able to\u00a0<\/span>discover, save and, most\u00a0<\/span>importantly<\/span>, purchase<\/span>\u00a0the products they like.<\/span>\u00a0This will aid omni-channel retailing as ecommerce and social media become more aligned.<\/span><\/p>\n
Making social media more shoppable is a<\/span>n ecommerce<\/span>\u00a0trend<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>predicted to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>quickly\u00a0<\/span>grow and dev<\/span>elop<\/span>\u00a0with Instagram, Facebook and other social medias moving to accommodate retail<\/span>.
