At the end of 2020, Pinterest launched a new feature called Story Pins. If you're familiar with Instagram Stories , the concept is fairly similar, with the added twist of being pin-able.

Currently, Story Pins are only available for Pinterest business accounts, and you need to request access in order to create them. Here's a step-by-step process on how that works.

How to get Story Pins on Pinterest with a business account

In order to create Story Pins, you'll first need a Pinterest business account.

1. If you already have a personal account on Pinterest, you can upgrade it to a business account in your profile settings; if you've never used Pinterest before, you'll need to create an account for your business.

2. On Pinterest's business hub , type a name for your business and answer the website and demographic questions. Click "Next" when you're done.

3. Select a focus for your brand and click on some goals you have for your Pinterest account. Click "Next" when finished.

4. Click on the option that best represents your business or click "I'm not sure." When you're finished, click "Next."

5. Answer the question about advertising and click "Next."

You'll be asked about your interest in advertising on Pinterest, but you don't need to make your mind up right away. Chrissy Montelli/Insider

6. From your Pinterest business account's homepage, click "Create," then click "Story Pins" in the drop-down menu that appears.

7. Because Story Pins are still in development, not everyone can use them, and you'll need to request access from Pinterest in order to be included in the beta trial. Click "Request access" to begin the process. It can take up to two days for Pinterest to get back to you, but when they do, you'll be notified within the Pinterest app itself.

Once you've been approved to use Story Pins, you can create them in the "Create" tab the same way you would any other Pin, but with the added advantage of being able to combine multiple images, videos, and text to promote your business in creative and unique ways. Play around with it and see what suits your business best.
