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.
