Pinterest Announces Buyable Pins for iPhone, iPad

Buyable Pins are coming to iPhone and iPad later this month. Rollouts for Android and desktop are planned in the future, but with no timetable yet.

As long rumored, the “buy” button is coming to Pinterest. Pinterest co-founder Ben Silberman announced Buyable Pins, allowing Pinners to buy something directly from a pin.

Noting that 80 percent of the people buying things via Pinterest are doing so via mobile, Silberman announced this news to select members of the media and prominent Pinners:

Every year, we’ve been introducing more and more pins with more and more useful types of information. … People have been super clear about what they want next: People want to buy things.
