Pinterest Lets Creators Link Amazon Storefronts to Their Profiles

The change automates affiliate links, surfaces creators’ storefronts on profiles and adds in‑app checkout to turn product discovery into purchases.

Overview

  • Pinterest announced the expansion on Wednesday, enabling eligible creators with business accounts to connect Amazon Storefronts to their Pinterest profiles.
  • Once linked, tagged Amazon products get affiliate tracking automatically and Pins include built‑in affiliate disclosures so creators do not have to add links manually.
  • The product tools add an Amazon‑specific tag filter, let creators display their full Storefront on their profile and support purchases inside the Pinterest app.
  • Pinterest frames the move as a way to strengthen creator monetization and highlight human creators after a year of complaints about low‑quality AI‑generated content.
  • The update builds on a 2023 Amazon ad partnership and a 2024 Google deal and comes with a gradual, selective rollout and cautious investor reaction that briefly nudged the stock lower.
