Social networking service Pinterest has added new tools enabling users in certain select countries to sell their products directly from the platform. For example, Pinterest now offers a "Catalogues" function, which allows companies to upload their product catalogues to the site in the form of promotional pins.
Previously, this option was only available to a tiny number of Pinterest partner companies. Now, it is open to companies from six countries including the US, Canada, Australia. Another new feature recently introduced by the social networking site is personal product recommendations for all users based on their previous searches.
