Millions of people use Pinterest. Why? This sentence describes it well enough: "Pinterest is a tool for collecting and organizing things you love." So if you ask yourself why to use this extension, the answer is simple - let people collect products from your store on their boards so their friends could see them, like them and finally buy them!
