The New Pinterest Connection Wizard has Tag as an optional step that can be skipped. Compared to the old plugin version (v3 API), where Tag was a mandatory condition to pass the Connection Wizard, the current implementation does not require it to function. However, some application bits check for Tag to be present to sync the catalog and slow landing page.
Removing Tag presence as a mandatory condition to pass the landing page and enable product sync.
The symptoms of this are after successfully connecting to Pinterest (with the Tag step skipped), you are faced with a landing page instead of the connection page and the Catalog tab saying, "Product sync is disabled."
Landing Page
After the "Get started" button is clicked, you actually see the connected user account information.
Product Sync
When the Catalog and the Feed are actually present.
