Tag Rocket sends event data to Pinterest to improve targeted advertising, it is important to ensure that the product information sent can be matched to the products in your Pinterest Catalog.
Variant Products (Products with Options)
“id” – Ideally, the variant SKU but any unique identifier value will suffice
“item_group_id” – The BigCommerce Product Id or Product-level SKU*. Can be prefixed/suffixed with other characters eg “P_”
Non-Variant Products (Products without Options)
“id” & “item_group_id” – The BigCommerce Product Id or Product-level SKU*. Can be prefixed/suffixed with other characters eg “P_”
* As Product SKU is an optional field, if blank, the feed should revert to the BigCommerce Product ID

Note: Pinterest Module must be enabled for settings to take effect
Basic
A Pinterest Tag is used to send page tracking information to Pinterest for general remarketing
- Copy the Pinterest Tag from your Pinterest Conversion Tag Page into Tag Rocket’s Pinterest Module

To enable Tag Rocket to link to your Pinterest Reports, we require your Account ID. This is easily obtained by logging into Pinterest and copying the numeric ID in the URL:

You can specify which ID system you want Tag Rocket to match with products in your Pinterest Catalog, choose [[pid]] for the BigCommerce Product ID or else [[psku]] for the Product-level SKU (not the variant SKU). Sometimes, to avoid conflicts it may be necessary to prepend or append text to the ID/SKU eg P_[[pid]] or [[psku]]_SKU
Advanced
To support sending variant ID’s for AddToCart, InitiateCheckout & Purchase events, Tag Rocket needs to know the format of the feed’s “id” field. This is usually the variant ID [[vid]] or variant SKU [[vsku]] but a variety of options exist to cater for all scenarios.
