Using Buyable Pins

Before Instagram has Tagged Products, Pinterest came up with Buyable Pins. They basically allow users to directly buy a product from a pin without having to leave Pinterest. On these pins, you have a blue “Buy It” button next to the red “Pin It” button.

Users can see the price, seller, and the description for the product. If they click the “Buy it” button they go right to a checkout area within the Pinterest platform.
