Pinterest and WooCommerce are making it easier for merchants to use the platform to sell their products. They launched a new Pinterest extension that can turn your product catalogue into shoppable Product Pins. When you install the extension, it automatically turns your products into Pins that people can search and browse for buying on the platform. It even gives you data on which products customers interact with on the app, so you'll know the best-selling or most saved items. You can get more info on how to install it here.

The companies recommend sellers to use the extension instead of manually uploading photos since it automatically updates details like pricing and product availability. If you want to try it out, you're lucky that Canada is one of the countries to get the feature now.
