Track your website

Conversions tracking lets you see what a user does on your websites, in your mobile apps, or in your physical stores. When you share your users’ conversion data with Pinterest, Pinterest is able to provide you insights that will help you evaluate your ads' effectiveness and improve the content, targeting, and placement of future ads.

Adding Pinterest Business Conversion Campaign to Typedream.

Create a Pinterest Business account

Go to ads.pinterest.com

Step 2

Go to Ads > Create campaign

Click Update Settings

Step 4

Step 4 is specific for buttons tracking. Use this steps if you want to track your buttons. For example, you can track how many times Item A is added to the cart by adding a tracker on your Add to Cart button.

Create a button in Typedream

On the right editor menu, go to Advance tab > Attributes

On the key dropdown menu, choose id. Type in whatever name you want this button to be called.

Open Site Settings > Code Injection

Paste the code below in the Site Body

<script>  const checkoutButtonID = "track-button";  window.onload = () => {    var button = document.getElementById(checkoutButtonID)    const trackClick = () => {        console.log("Button Checkout Click");        pintrk('track', 'checkout', {            value: 100,            order_quantity: 1,            currency: 'USD'        });    }        button.addEventListener("click", trackClick)}</script>

Pay attention to these parts:

const checkoutButtonID = "track-button" “track-button” is where you need to fill in your button’s id.
Change this part accordingly to the button you want to track. Use the codes that were on the Install the event code page (see Step 3).

pintrk('track', 'checkout', {            value: 100,            order_quantity: 1,            currency: 'USD'        });

Keep adding the codes until you have all the buttons that you want to track. For example, if I want to track Check out button and Add to Cart button:

<script>  const checkoutButtonID = "track-button";  window.onload = () => {    var button = document.getElementById(checkoutButtonID)    const trackClick = () => {        console.log("Button Checkout Click");        pintrk('track', 'checkout', {            value: 100,            order_quantity: 1,            currency: 'USD'        });    }    button.addEventListener("click", trackClick)}</script><script>  const checkoutButtonID = "track-button-2";   window.onload = () => {    var button = document.getElementById(checkoutButtonID)    const trackClick = () => {        console.log("Button Checkout Click");        pintrk('track', 'addtocart', {						value: 100,						order_quantity: 1,						currency: 'USD'				});    }    button.addEventListener("click", trackClick)}</script>

Click Update Settings

Adding Pinterest tag to your website can take up to 24hrs for Pinterest to read it. After that, you can track your website's activities on Pinterest Business by going to Ads > Conversions > Event History

Done!
