Pin Product from Zazzle to Pinterest

[LDS222]

Hope I'm just missing something silly, but what I thought would be an easy task to Pin products to Pinterest since tech has gotten so great and we have the handy dandy "pin to pinterest icon", turned into total frustration (time, seeking thru youtube videos, etc)
My FIRST attachment is a Pin I created several years ago_it includes everything it should: name of product, price, name of my store, link to my product and product details. The SECOND attachment is what the pin icon created _it's terrible_it doesn't include anything except the first link, zazzle.com, goes to the product, without a call to action and then a link to follow the zazzle board. The THIRD attachment is a manual one I created on pinterest it didn't include the name I added, did include my description. Lastly, the FOURTH attachment includes the landing page from the top link_it would be nice if under "Other designs from this category" it showed all my mugs first and then the rest from other designers.
The last point is really just a suggestion, but I really hope there's a solution for the Pin creation having complete
information and looking professional.  🤞

fyi...I tried attaching my 4 .png files using 'insert photos', but that failed. Then I tried just posting this, but I got an authentication error and it popped me out...lol, is it a Full Moon?!

@LDS222 I've created manual Pins for quite some time now (so that Pinterest doesn't strip out my product description and substitute it with a dreaded generic one). I throw in a few hashtags as well. Yes, it does take a bit more time, but if creating titles, product descriptions, and tags isn't your bag, ChatGPT and Bard can help you with that aspect. 

Mark ( @HightonRidley) has designed a number of bookmarklets that speed up the process of putting together those product images and automate the link creation process (with and without the RF code).

Hope this helps!

Thanks WHS! This is a lot of great information, I'm sure it will help, but it's a lot to digest; especially all the tools from Mark. I don't have a problem manually creating Pins, but does everyone think Pinterest is worth the time?

@LDS222 

it's the only social media platform I use to promote mine and other Zazzle creators' designs.
I feel I have more flexibility to craft pins than I do on Facebook and Twitter, and neither of the latter two have gotten me much engagement or views. Pinterest stats are also quite useful.
