Pinterest and X ads from your creations

Published 27 September 2026 · Updated 7 November 2026

Pinterest is where people plan what they will wear, and X is where a drop gets talked about the day it lands. Both usually mean one more ads manager to learn. In The New Black AI, a campaign on either is launched from the Ads tool with the same form as Meta, and the ad is made from a creation of your studio.

On both, the campaign is created paused and switched on only at the end, so nothing is spent on a half-built campaign.

How it works

  1. 1.Connect Pinterest Ads or X Ads in Connectors. A Pinterest connection made before 26/09 asks to be renewed once, for the board and pin rights.
  2. 2.Open Ads, then New campaign, and choose the network.
  3. 3.Name the campaign, set the daily budget and the countries.
  4. 4.Select from Studio: the creation that becomes the pin or the post. Set the landing page, a product or a collection of your store.
  5. 5.Launch. Spend, clicks and return then sit in Ads with Meta and Google, on the same window.

Why launch from the studio

The picture is the ad. A pin that performs is a vertical, styled picture of the piece worn, and that is what the studio makes: a model wearing your product, a short video of the look. Launching from the same place saves the export, the upload and the resizing.

Google's side is in Google Performance Max for a fashion store; Meta's carousel in Meta carousel ads from your creations.

Frequently asked questions

Can I launch Pinterest ads from Shopify with The New Black AI?+

Yes. Connect Pinterest Ads, then New campaign in the Ads tool makes a pin from your creation and launches the campaign.

Can a Pinterest ad be a carousel?+

Yes, from 2 to 5 images.

Does the pin appear on my boards?+

It is created on a board of the ad account's owner, like any pin Pinterest Ads promotes.

Does the X ad show on my timeline?+

No. It is a promoted-only post: it runs as an ad without appearing among your regular posts.

Why does X ask for a payment method?+

X will not run a campaign on an ads account without an active payment method; the form tells you before you launch.

Will anything be spent before I confirm?+

No. The campaign is created paused and switched on only at the last step.

Which plan do I need?+

Reading your campaigns and their figures is open to every account, with or without a Shopify store. Adding your creations to a running ad set, pausing a campaign or changing its budget comes with the Pro plan; launching a new campaign from the Ads tool comes with the Business plan.
