Recharge - Pinterest

Send every Recharge event to Pinterest, server-side

Q: What’s the difference between the Pixel Tag ID and the Advertiser ID?

The Pixel Tag ID identifies a specific tracking pixel inside your Pinterest account, and the Advertiser ID identifies the ad account that owns it. Upstack needs both: the Pixel Tag ID to attribute events to the right pixel, and the Advertiser ID to send them on behalf of the right ad account.

Q: Do I still need the Pinterest browser pixel?

Server-side delivery works on its own, but running both gives Pinterest the strongest signal. As long as the Pixel Tag ID matches between your browser pixel and the Upstack destination, Pinterest’s deduplication prevents double counting.

Q: Which customer parameters are sent to Pinterest?

Events carry hashed email and phone plus the epik click ID when available.

Q: How do I check that Recharge events are reaching Pinterest?

Upstack marks the destination Healthy, and Conversions, Pinterest tag in Pinterest Business shows events from your Conversions API integration. Match quality and conversion attribution build over the following 24 to 48 hours.

Q: How long does it take to connect Recharge to Pinterest?

Most brands are live in under 20 minutes. Once Recharge is connected, every destination receives the same resolved events, Pinterest included.

Each event is resolved to a person against a 750M+ device graph before it reaches Pinterest, with restored click IDs, deduplicated conversions and delivery you can audit.

How it flows

How a Recharge event reaches Pinterest. Captured on the server, resolved to a person, then sent.

01 Capture

Captured from Recharge

Bring subscription events into the same resolved customer: new subscriptions, renewals, churn and reactivation.

02 Understand

Resolved to one person before it leaves

Every Recharge event is matched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer rather than two strangers.

How resolution works

Resolved before it is sent

IdentityMatched against a 750M+ device graph, so a phone browse and a desktop checkout resolve to one customer.
customer_typeNew or returning, resolved before send.
DeduplicationBrowser and server copies of the same purchase collapse on event ID, so nothing is counted twice.
Bot and fraud filteringAutomated traffic never reaches the model, because what you keep out of the training set matters as much as what goes in.

Ad platforms accept almost anything and tell you very little. These controls exist so you can see what was sent and what was accepted, rather than inferring it from a reporting gap.

The catch

Recharge fires a charge event on every renewal.

Forwarded naively, your ad platform learns that customers you already acquired keep converting, and prospecting drifts toward people who look like existing subscribers. Only the first charge is an acquisition.

What changes

What changes when Recharge feeds Pinterest. Two gains on the Pinterest side, two on the Recharge side.

Server-side delivery

By default Upstack sends events to Pinterest from its servers as well as through the Pinterest tag, so an event an ad blocker or browser privacy setting stops in the browser still arrives from the server.

Identity-resolved events

Events sent to Pinterest carry the resolved customer whenever Upstack can identify one, matched against a 750M+ device graph.

Recharge

Subscriptions as their own conversion

Send new subscriptions to the ad platforms as a distinct event, not lumped in with one-time orders.

Recharge

Renewals counted properly

Recurring charges are forwarded as real revenue, so LTV reporting reflects what the customer is actually worth.

Setup
