Exciting PINTEREST Improvement! - All Views and Prices now displayed

[CreativeLeahG]

Thank you Zazzle for this amazing improvement!

Sharing via the newer share button on Zazzle now results in this re Pinterest - scrolling board showing all views and the price! Looks amazing!

What's weird is ............... I have a couple of Pinterest accounts and sharing the same item to my other account results in the OLD view ??

Using the Pinterest share button does not allow editing of title or description on the Pinterest site and uses the same repeated product description of Zazzle's. As you can't edit description, you can't identify that the posting is an #ad which is required for promotions. However, using the create pin doesn't provide this option multi-view and Pinterest might randomly replace your description with Zazzle's anyway. I guess choose whichever is least inconvenient

There is no referral code with my shares from Zazzle - and clear it is an ad+ especially with price added re the new view. I like the new version, just curious why not showing on my other account.

Zazzle's shared views meanwhile are 'obvious ads'  (product image, description of a product, link to the store website, clearly identified - ie no possible way a consumer wouldn't know this image leads to the product on a store page as it isn't posing as 'advice/information or anything other)  note :
"The overarching requirement in Section 2 of the CAP Code is that all advertising needs to be obviously identifiable. This means that when a consumer sees an ad, it should be obvious to them that they’re looking at an ad. " https://www.asa.org.uk/advice-online/recognising-ads-social-media.html  

I add the #ad where I can regardless of how 'obvious' the 'ad' is, but where we can't add anything re sharing directly via Zazzle, I don't worry about it, because there is no room for confusion re the consumer and what they're seeing.

Thanks for the heads up @CreativeLeahG Leah. My accounts are not showing this new view with newly pinned products. I'm sure things will catch up. 😊

unfortunately, my Pinterest account isn't showing this improvement either, and I've shared from both the backend and the individual product page.

My Pinterest has been showing this for a few weeks now, and it occurred before the new Zazzle share button was operational. But not for all products, and it has been on and off, even with the pins I made myself (as opposed to sharing from Zazzle). I can't make it happen through use of the new Zazzle share button, either. So I am not at all sure this is the doing of Zazzle.

I have pins dated as far back as 2017 which I used the automatic Share button on the Zazzle product page for  that show all the different thumbs + price. I don't pin a lot so my most recent such pin I can find was shared Dec 2021, long before Zazzle's recent changes to the product pages. It's hit-or-miss as you said though. Some of the pins I've shared this quick automatic way have the alternate thumbs & price while others don't. I have many non-Zazzle related pins that go to other e-tailer product pages (posted in an effort to improve my overall Pinterest account stats) and the same is true there. Old pins or new pins, some show the alternate thumbs + price, some don't. I haven't spent any time trying to figure out a rhyme or reason for this and likely won't (Pinterest is just to dang wonky anymore to bother with trying to analyze their methods) but I feel safe in saying this isn't a Zazzle thing, it's a PInterest thing.

Yes, I shared 'same' product to two different accounts and got a different 'view' for each. So you think this could be a Pinterest development? Interesting .....

What I have seen happening is that when I create my own pin - NOT using the share button on Zazzle - but creating my own in the 1500x1000 ratio, then going to my Pinterest and uploading it there - that when that gets re-pinned on another board it switches it up to the smaller square Zazzle multi-views you showed in your original post. It overrides the original pin that I created to be visually appealing and match the look of my pinterest. 

It doesn't do it to each one though and I don't know how to make it stop happening. When something of mine is re-pinned, I want that pin to appear as I created it - not be replaced by this Zazzle scroll multi-view thing. Anyone having this happen or know why this is happening or how to make it not happen?

[LMGildersleeve]

My guess is because Zazzle has claimed their sites as rich pins (as apposed to your claiming a website you are pinning from) that is why your manual pin reverts back to their generic square pins.

This is a guess and may not be true. If you are using your Z store url in your Pinterest profile this may be the cause. ❓

My share button to pinterest has stopped working. It just freezes on a white blank screen. Hasn't worked for 3 days now.
