Great Plugin …. almost.

Great, simple light weight plugin to connect your store to Pinterest, a bit quirky to get setup, I do not know if this a Pinterest API issue or the Plugin itself.

Sometimes during setup it would submit the feed to Pinterest with the message “Generating Feed Shortly”, so naturally the feed fails after it is generated.

The only fix for this is to disconnect, reset the app data and re-install again (repeat this as needed) until it finally generates the feed -> syncs with Pinterest and you finally get the yellow notice the feed is in Que.

*Note on this, I had an additional error where the Feed generated, synced with Pinterest and still failed with no errors or issues, if this happens to you, you need to contact Pinterest Support, it is not a plugin issue, is on Pinterest end.

If you have a large amount of products (I have over 1200) you are going to enjoy editing every single product by hand and Adding Condition to ‘New, Used, etc’ and your Google Category before Pinterest will accept the feed (even though these are suggestions and not a requirement, Pinterest will not sync the feed with these errors.)

*No Cache support, if you using a caching plugin, you will need to add exceptions to the Checkout, Cart Page and the URL of the feed for the tag errors to be resolved. Important to mention here that the Cart/Checkout page tag errors will NOT show resolved until there is a transaction and of course “Cache Free”.

Suggestions:
Add Condition/Google Category to the settings menu so it can be chosen from here to set all products, most stores fit one category, those who do not, can manually edit as needed.

Add option to choose which photo to use to the settings menu or default the plugin to use the full uploaded image.

*Patience required.., I wish it worked as easy as it appears when you activate the plugin. Maybe in future updates.

Thanks for all the hard work!
