Pinterest Officially Unveils Buyable Pins
Pinterest has confirmed that it will introduce Buyable Pins, the company announced at an event at its San Francisco headquarters Tuesday.
A buy pin had been reportedly been in the works in recent months, but the company declined to comment at the time and it was unclear how the company would implement purchases and what other parties would be involved.
But the company Tuesday made it a point to illustrate that security and anti-fraud measures were in place. Pinterest is working with Stripe to handle payments, and is also working with Braintree and Apple to make sure “Pinterest’s servers never touch customer’s credit card information.”
