GCU Forum - Pinterest no longer permits artist's referral id?

Stacia_208183 Gold Member Posts: 822	Pinterest no longer permits artist's referral id? Mar 31^st, 2019, 2:20pm It seems to me that there is no longer a way to edit our Pinterest Pins to include the artist's referral ID at the end of our saved pins. Seeking verification from GCU Admin or knowledgeable artists. Thanks! - Stacia

Hi Stacia -

Bring up the 3D view of your greeting card at GCU. Right click SAVE to your computer.
Grab the Text Link from the Sell This Card. Copy.
Go to your Pinterest account - pins - add a NEW PIN.
Use the copied link with your referral code as the location on the right.
Upload the image of the card from where you saved it.
Add a title, description, pick a board, etc.
Save. Your code will still be there.
You many also edit the link code doing it this way.

You are correct that the 'edit' feature for the link is no longer in the 'quick pin' area.
