What Is Pin Data Connect?
Pin Data Connect is a web-based tool that lets online sellers build and manage Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and Bing product catalogs without spreadsheets.
You enter product details in your browser - or capture them with a free Chrome extension - and Pin Data Connect generates a properly formatted product catalog for whichever platform you subscribe to, ready to connect with a private data source URL. That includes standard and Enhanced catalogs for Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and Bing, combined plans covering more than one at once, and marketplace-specific builders for Pixels Pro, Fine Art America, and Dashery sellers.
It's an independent, self-funded service - not owned, operated, or endorsed by any of the platforms it connects to.

How It Works
What Pin Data Connect Is Not
A few common mix-ups worth clearing up.
Not an Advertising Platform
Pin Data Connect builds the product catalog file a platform's ads/shopping tools read from - it doesn't run ads, set bids, or manage ad campaigns itself.
Not a Store Builder
It doesn't host a storefront or process customer orders. It connects the products you already sell somewhere else to Pinterest, Facebook, Google, and Bing.
Not Owned by Pinterest, Meta, Google, or Microsoft
It's an independent, self-funded service built to each platform's published catalog specifications - not an official product of any of them.
