A Storefront Profile shows products per category and in-stock inventories. Brands can also highlight a group of featured products in a tab. Such a creative layout replicates the users’ shopping experience in a physical store. It also allows a storefront to show up on searches with related product categories.

An improved Product Tagging tool allows brands to tag an exact product in a Pinterest scene. Before, product tags can be used on collections pins. Pinterest now enables product tags on scenic pins.

Pinterest merges Catalogs and Collections. Such an integration transforms collections into a shopping ad format. It also allows faster catalog feed ingestion. Brands can now easily launch campaigns. They can even schedule the posting of content based on their preferred time. 

Pinterest also adds Videos as the hero of collections ad. Brands can highlight main products on collections ad to create a multi-image video.
