Choosing Your Options

You can choose what data you’d like to send back to Pinterest. These options are available in your Pinoculars settings found in Settings > PInoculars from your admin side menu.

Here are your options with a description of their functionality:

1. General Options

a) Enable Enhanced Match

This lets Pinoculars send your user’s email to Pinterest when it’s known. For WordPress, the email is known when the user is logged in or has just completed a checkout with EDD or WooCommerce. Not sure what this is? Read this article on what enhanced match is and why to enable it.

b) Track Search Queries

This enables or disables tracking for user searches. Pinoculars will record what keywords the user searched for. The data is send using Pinterest’s “search” event with the event data of “search_query”.

2. WooCommerce Tracking

WooCommerce must be enabled for these options to be available. Otherwise, these options will appear grayed out.

You have 2 options:

a) Track Add to Cart
