Pinterest Conversion API Features & Benefits

Improved ad delivery and targeting

Improved ad delivery and targeting by capturing missing conversions. Connectivity issues and browser inconsistency can impact conversions reported via Pixel. With Conversion API, more conversions are reported and leveraged for measurement, optimization, and targeting.

Accurate Event Tracking

With server-side tracking, you will be able to collect more events. Pinterest Conversion API is resistant to ad blockers, ITPs, and other tracking restrictions. This way, you can increase the accuracy of conversion tracking of your campaigns. It will give you a better understanding of what campaigns are converting and bring more sales.

Bypass ITP & Ad-blockers

Server-side tracking helps you bypass ad blockers, ITP restrictions, and browser privacy settings — ensuring more reliable data collection

Event Deduplication

Avoid double-counting events sent via both Pixel and CAPI. I will enable deduplication by setting up an event ID.

Better custom audience quality

Since tracking won’t be blocked, your custom audiences will include all users. 

Improve CPA

Advertisers who use both CAPI and tags together saw 9% improvements in cost per actions and a 23.7% increase in attributed conversion volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Pinterest tag is a piece of code that you add to your website. It lets Pinterest track visitors to your site, as well as the actions they take on your site after seeing your Pinterest ad. This means you can measure how effective your Pinterest ads are by understanding the actions people take on your website after seeing or engaging with your ad.

The Pinterest Conversions API enables advertisers to send conversions directly to Pinterest via a server-to-server connection. Conversions captured with the Pinterest API can then be used for campaign optimization, targeting and conversion reporting for improved conversion visibility.

Combining both ensures accurate tracking—Tag captures browser events, while CAPI sends data server-side. Together, they improve attribution, targeting, and overall ad performance.
