Affiliate marketer accounts prohibited

Pinterest's merchant guidelines forbid affiliate marketers from running catalogs or Shopping Ads.

Pinterest Catalogs flags products that fall under restricted/prohibited categories — counterfeits, restricted weapons, healthcare claims requiring certification, financial services, alcohol, gambling, adult content, or restricted destinations.

1. Read the linked policy article carefully to understand exactly what's restricted.
2. If your product is genuinely permitted but flagged in error, request a re-review — but make sure your content is squeaky-clean first.
3. If selling regulated products, apply for the appropriate program enrollment with required certifications.
4. Remove or modify product titles, descriptions, and images that imply prohibited content.

• Implying medical claims with words like 'cures', 'treats', or 'prevents' in product copy
• Re-listing flagged products without addressing the underlying policy issue — escalates to account suspension
