Metrics

Pins drive discovery — POAS picks profitable catalog SKUs

ROAS

Revenue ÷ Ad spend

Pinterest catalog ads scale entire feeds. Visually strong products with thin margin can consume budget while ROAS looks acceptable on holiday promos.

POAS

Gross profit ÷ Ad spend

Profit Bid sends checkout profit via Conversions API and maps catalog SKUs to A/C/X zones — increase bids on pins that lead to high-POAS products.

  • Checkout event value = gross profit from synced orders.
  • Longer attribution — wait 7–14 days before major budget moves.
  • Seasonal promos: POAS catches discounted SKU margin collapse.
  • Reuse label logic from Google where catalogs overlap.
