Getting Started

What is PinsFlow AI?

PinsFlow AI is an all-in-one Pinterest marketing platform that uses AI to turn your blog posts into beautifully designed, SEO-optimized Pinterest pins — then schedules and auto-publishes them for you.

Who is PinsFlow AI for?

PinsFlow AI is for bloggers, content creators, Etsy sellers, Shopify store owners, and agencies who want to get more traffic from Pinterest without designing and posting every pin by hand.

What platforms can I import content from?

PinsFlow supports Etsy, WordPress, Shopify, RSS feeds, and any public blog URL. You can also paste plain text or upload a CSV of URLs for bulk creation.

Do I need Etsy or Shopify to use PinsFlow AI?

No. PinsFlow AI works with blog URLs, WordPress, RSS feeds, and more. The Etsy and Shopify integrations are additional workflows designed to make Pinterest marketing easier for ecommerce sellers.

Can I use PinsFlow AI if I sell on both Etsy and Shopify?

Yes. You can connect your Etsy shop and add your Shopify store at the same time, and generate Pinterest content from both within one PinsFlow AI account.

How do I get started with PinsFlow AI?

Create a free account, connect your Pinterest business account, then paste a blog URL or connect your Etsy shop or Shopify store. PinsFlow AI generates pins you can edit, schedule, or publish.

Pinterest & Pin Creation

How does the AI generate pins from my blog?

Simply paste your blog post URL. Our AI reads your content, extracts key themes and images, then generates 10–100 unique pin designs with titles, descriptions, and hashtags in under a minute.

Do I need a Pinterest business account?

Yes — Pinterest's API requires a business account for publishing. You can connect your account in one click via OAuth inside PinsFlow AI.

Can I schedule pins automatically?

Absolutely. PinsFlow AI lets you queue pins at peak-traffic times, or enable Auto Traffic Machine to publish hands-free as soon as new blog posts are detected.

Can I use my own brand colors and fonts?

Yes — our Brand Kit feature lets you save your colors, fonts, and logo. Every pin generated automatically matches your brand identity.

Can I choose which Pinterest account and board my pins go to?

Yes. If you connect more than one Pinterest account, you can pick the active account on your dashboard, then choose the board before publishing.

Can I edit a pin before it is published?

Yes. Every generated pin opens in the pin editor, where you can change the text, image, and design before you schedule or publish it.

What are Pin Studio Templates?

Pin Studio is a library of ready-made pin designs for many niches. You pick a template, add your own text and brand, and save it as a pin. Templates are included on Starter (limited), Pro, and Agency plans.

Etsy

Can I connect my Etsy shop to PinsFlow AI?

Yes. PinsFlow AI supports an Etsy integration that lets you securely connect your shop and use your eligible listing information inside PinsFlow AI for supported Pinterest marketing workflows.

What Etsy information does PinsFlow AI use?

PinsFlow AI reads your shop's listing details — such as titles, descriptions, images, prices, and listing URLs — so they can be used for Pinterest content creation. It does not access your orders, customers, messages, or payment information.

Can PinsFlow AI turn my Etsy products into Pinterest content?

Yes. PinsFlow AI can use supported information from your Etsy listings to help streamline the creation of Pinterest marketing content — pins, titles, descriptions, keywords, and more.

Will PinsFlow AI change my Etsy listings?

No. Connecting Etsy to PinsFlow AI does not rewrite or modify your Etsy listings. Your listings stay exactly as they are unless you explicitly choose to change them on Etsy.

Does PinsFlow AI guarantee more Etsy sales?

No. PinsFlow AI provides AI-powered marketing, content creation, SEO-supporting tools, and scheduling assistance. Results depend on factors such as your product, market demand, competition, pricing, listing quality, Pinterest strategy, and customer behavior.

Why should Etsy sellers use Pinterest?

Pinterest works as a visual discovery platform where people actively search for products, gift ideas, and inspiration. Sellers can create content around their products and direct interested visitors to their Etsy listings — without relying only on Etsy search.

Can I promote the same Etsy product more than once on Pinterest?

Yes. You can create different Pinterest content angles for the same product — for example product-focused, problem/solution, seasonal, gift-related, educational, inspirational, or use-case content.

Does PinsFlow AI replace Etsy?

No. PinsFlow AI is a marketing and content creation platform. Etsy remains your ecommerce marketplace — PinsFlow AI helps streamline the Pinterest marketing around your products.

What is the Etsy Listing Optimizer (Ecommerce AI)?

The Etsy Listing Optimizer is an AI tool inside PinsFlow AI's Ecommerce AI hub. Once your Etsy shop is connected, it reads your real, eligible listing details and produces a plain-language scorecard, an improved title and description with variations, Etsy-specific keyword ideas, buyer-intent insights, positioning questions, seasonal angles, and a prioritized improvement checklist.

Does the Etsy Listing Optimizer edit my Etsy listings?

No. The optimizer is read-only on Etsy and never changes your live listings. It gives you copy suggestions you can review and paste into Etsy yourself. The AI is also instructed not to invent product facts, shipping times, guarantees, reviews, or sales numbers.

How does Ecommerce AI use my Etsy products for Pinterest?

After analyzing a listing you can generate a Pinterest campaign — Quick (3 angles), Growth (10), or a 30-day plan. Each angle includes a pin headline, title, description, keywords, CTA, visual concept, and image text overlay. When you create pins from an angle, they're saved as drafts in your existing PinsFlow AI pin library, ready to edit, schedule, or publish. Nothing is published automatically.

Which plans include the Etsy Listing Optimizer?

Free and Manager plans show an upgrade prompt. The Starter plan includes a limited number of analyses and Pinterest campaigns per month. Pro and Agency plans include unlimited analyses, unlimited campaigns, and bulk analysis for up to 10 listings at once. Admin-configurable limits are available in the admin settings.

Shopify

Can I connect my Shopify store to PinsFlow AI?

Yes. Go to the Shopify page from your dashboard, click 'Add a Shopify store,' and paste your store domain. PinsFlow AI reads your store's public product feed — no Shopify API key required.

What Shopify product information does PinsFlow AI use?

PinsFlow AI reads your active products' public information — titles, descriptions, images, prices, and product URLs — so they can be used for Pinterest content creation. It does not access your customers, orders, or store settings.

Can PinsFlow AI turn my Shopify products into Pinterest content?

Yes. Select the products you want to promote and PinsFlow AI creates Pinterest pins using your real product photos, writes Pinterest-optimized titles and descriptions, and links each pin back to your product page.

Does PinsFlow AI change anything in my Shopify store?

No. The Shopify integration is read-only — it imports product information for content creation and never modifies your products, pages, or store settings.

Can PinsFlow AI send Pinterest visitors to my Shopify product pages?

Yes. Each pin generated from a Shopify product links back to that product's page, so Pinterest users who click through land directly on the product.

Can I promote the same Shopify product with multiple Pinterest pins?

Yes. You can generate multiple pins per product and create different promotional angles — seasonal, gift, problem/solution, use-case — then schedule them over time on your content calendar.

Does PinsFlow AI guarantee more Shopify sales?

No. PinsFlow AI provides marketing, AI content creation, Pinterest optimization, scheduling, and related tools, but cannot guarantee traffic, rankings, conversions, or sales. Results depend on your products, pricing, competition, and Pinterest strategy.

Plans & Billing

How much does PinsFlow AI cost?

PinsFlow AI has a Free plan, plus paid Manager, Starter, Pro, and Agency plans billed monthly or annually (annual saves about 20%). Current prices and what each plan includes are listed on the Pricing page.

Is there a free plan?

Yes! Every new user gets a free trial with limited pin generation credits. No credit card required to start.
