Pinterest availability

Pinterest is not currently available through ArtDrop.

// Current availability

ArtDrop does not currently create Product Pins, publish Pinterest catalogs, create a Pinterest storefront, or save Pins to boards.

// Organic posting

Organic Pinterest posting is not available in the current customer setup. Do not rely on the Pinterest control in Social to start or stop Pins.

// Previously supplied credentials

If you entered a Pinterest access token or board ID for an older local setup and no longer need them, revoke access in Pinterest.

// Pinterest Standard API approval required

Direct organic Pinterest publishing is not generally available. Pinterest must grant ArtDrop Standard API access before ordinary customers can use the direct organic workflow. Approval is pending and is not guaranteed, so this page does not announce a live feature. The planned connection is for ArtDrop Web only, not ArtDrop Mac.

// One connection, one review, one Pin
  1. You click Connect Pinterest in ArtDrop Web, then sign in and authorize on Pinterest. ArtDrop does not ask for your Pinterest password, a developer app, or a manually pasted token.
  2. ArtDrop records the authenticated Pinterest account ID and username, then loads the account's boards live. The picker includes only boards owned by that authenticated user; collaborative boards and boards without a matching owner are excluded.
  3. You choose one eligible ArtDrop product source, one owned board, and the exact image, Shopify destination link, title, description, and alt text for the Pin.
  4. Prepare Review freezes those exact values for you to inspect. A separate Publish click is your timing decision and sends that one reviewed Pin immediately. There is no background, scheduled, automatic, or bulk Pinterest posting.
  5. After Pinterest returns a Pin ID, ArtDrop reads that exact Pin back and records success only when the returned identity, board, link, and available copy match the review. An uncertain result is marked for manual checking and is never posted a second time automatically.
// What ArtDrop stores

For the planned Web connection, ArtDrop stores the OAuth access and rotating refresh tokens in an AES-256-GCM encrypted envelope bound to your ArtDrop account and selected ArtDrop store. The browser does not receive those tokens. ArtDrop also stores the connected Pinterest account ID and username. Board names are loaded from Pinterest for the picker instead of being kept as a board cache.

The delivery ledger keeps the selected board ID, exact reviewed image and destination URLs, title, description, alt text, source event, status, Pinterest Pin ID when returned, verification result, bounded error code, and timestamps. ArtDrop does not retain Pinterest's raw API response body in that ledger.

// Disconnect and deletion limits

Disconnecting removes the encrypted Pinterest credential from ArtDrop for that ArtDrop store. Pinterest does not provide the end-user token-revocation call this workflow would need, so you must also remove ArtDrop in Pinterest security settings to revoke access there. Disconnecting does not delete a Pin already created on Pinterest, and the delivery ledger remains until account erasure.

ArtDrop account erasure deletes the local Pinterest credential, pending authorization state, and publication ledger, subject to the general backup, security, and legal limits in our Privacy Policy. Pins and other data already received by Pinterest remain under Pinterest's Privacy Policy and must be managed with Pinterest.

// Shopify Product Pins remain separate
  • The planned direct workflow creates one organic image Pin. It does not create or submit a Pinterest catalog and does not save an existing Product Pin.
  • Direct ArtDrop Catalogs API publishing is not currently offered. The official Pinterest for Shopify sales channel remains the Product Pin catalog route.
  • ArtDrop does not request Pinterest catalog, advertising, order, customer, refund, checkout, or fulfillment access and does not handle those activities.
  • Catalog approval is Pinterest catalog evidence only. It does not prove that an organic Pin was posted. OAuth authorization and board selection also do not prove delivery; the exact Pin readback does.
