SynthSketchShop — Pinterest App Details

This page describes how SynthSketchShop interacts with Pinterest through the official Pinterest API v5.

App Name

SynthSketchShop Pin Publisher

Purpose

SynthSketchShop uses the Pinterest API to promote digital art products from our Etsy shop by creating pins that link directly to Etsy listings.

What the App Does

1. Creates Pins

For each published Etsy listing, the app creates a Pinterest pin containing:

• Product image (2:3 ratio, 1000x1500px)
• Keyword-optimized title and description
• Direct link to the Etsy listing URL
• Relevant hashtags (8-10 per pin)

2. Manages Boards

The app organizes pins into themed boards matching product categories:

• "Botanical Wall Art"
• "Minimalist Prints"
• "Seasonal Decor"
• And similar topic-based boards

3. Tracks Performance

The app reads basic pin analytics to understand which designs and keywords perform best:

• Pin impressions
• Click-through rates
• Save counts
