Do you want to enable WooCommerce Pinterest conversion tracking in your store?

Pinterest is one of the most popular digital media platforms with more than 400 million+ monthly active users.

Plus, being a visually-driven platform, it’s perfect for promoting your WooCommerce products to bring new customers into your store.

Once the visitors are in your store, tracking their activities and conversions is a cakewalk.

You’ll see how.

In this post, we’ll help you integrate the Pinterest tag into WooCommerce and track event-based conversions in your store.

What is the Pinterest Tag?

The Pinterest tag is a combination of base and event codes that lets you obtain information related to measuring and optimizing your ad campaigns.

It lets you track the activities of how visitors are interacting with your website.

Being one of the most popular social media platforms, Pinterest has become the most common hub for promoting products and services.

It lets you set up pins with images on your Pinterest shop board. When a user searches for any items or inspirations/ideas, it shows the related shoppable pins to them.

For example, our search for a table clock on Pinterest listed different shoppable product pins:

This way a user can directly reach your store and check out the product they’re interested in.

Pinterest has made the shopping experience easier for people to discover new products and services.

Therefore, you must set up Pinterest tags for optimizing your ad campaigns, retargeting them to different users and tracking conversions.

With Pinterest conversion tracking, you’ll be able to know the information regarding abandoned carts, new leads, purchases made, etc. in your WooCommerce store.
