Can't pin to Pinterest anymore

[GraphicAllusion]

So I just created a new product, went to pin it to Pinterest straight away, but got an error message instead which is virtually a demand to verify my Pinterest account. When I looked into doing this, it's only letting you verify your account if you have a .com and your own website domain. Well I don't have one anymore (the annual fees were too much for me to keep up with), so I let it go. Is there no way around this without having set up an entire website again (which I have no interest in doing again so whatsoever)? Apparently they will not accept a verification link to just your Zazzle store, you have to have your own domain. So, I guess this means you can no longer pin anything from Zazzle without your own .com domain? Has anyone found a way around this? TIA.

Mmm nope I am hoping it is just a glitch...? I did notice you can connect to your instagram account which I have now done, but with instagram you can't add you direct links. My domain is on a redirect to my store on Zazzle and doesn't work either with pinterest...

Pinterest recently made changes that affect how creators link to their storefront especially those of us using platforms like Zazzle. Like you I got the popup that I had to verify my store.  Pinterest now requires business accounts to claim their website.  You can’t claim your Zazzle store, so you have to add your website domain from your blog like wordpress / blogger . So now I am back to a personal account at Pin you can make the switch in settings you won't lose your boards, just your business account.

Hi, there's a thread on this subject in Technical Issues...you may want to add your comment there because if Pinterest has made changes then for those who rely on Pinterest and the share button (35 - 50% referral fees) then these potential fees perhaps become redundant. I can upload a manual pin but am experiencing the same issues with Pinterest as others when using the share option on Zazzle. I don't think the referral fees are the same with a manual pin when manually adding your own ambassador code but I could be wrong. Hopefully it's just a glitch but if Pinterest's terms of use have changed then what does this mean for the 'share' option on Zazzle?
