Stripe - Pinterest

Send events from your Stripe-billed app to Pinterest

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 Stripe 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 Stripe to Pinterest?

Most brands are live in under 20 minutes. Once Stripe events reach Upstack, 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 Stripe event reaches Pinterest. Sent from your app, resolved to a person, then forwarded.

01 Capture

Captured from Stripe

For apps that bill through Stripe, send payment and subscription events to Upstack with the Upstack Pixel and JavaScript SDK, resolved to a customer before they reach the tools you spend on.

See the Stripe integration

StripeWhat it sends

subscription_initial_purchaseyou fire it for the first subscription order
subscription_recurring_purchaseon invoice.paid for an existing subscription
payment_succeededmaps to invoice.paid or charge.succeeded
payment_refundedmaps to charge.refunded
amount / currencyamount in cents, with invoiceId and subscriptionId

02 Understand

Resolved to one person before it leaves

Every Stripe 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

A retried payment produces several Stripe objects for one purchase.

Forwarding each as a conversion inflates reported performance by the retry rate, which is highest on exactly the campaigns bringing in the least reliable payment methods. Fire the Upstack event when Stripe reports the payment succeeded (invoice.paid or charge.succeeded), so only the settled payment becomes a conversion.

What changes

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

Stripe

Subscription purchases as events

Fire subscription_initial_purchase for the first order and subscription_recurring_purchase each time a renewal is paid, so first orders and renewals are reported separately.

Stripe

Payments and refunds

payment_succeeded, payment_failed and payment_refunded each map to a Stripe event (invoice.paid or charge.succeeded, invoice.payment_failed, charge.refunded), so money events reach Upstack when your app fires them.
