As a person who bought these ads I think you would be the right person to answer some of my curiosity.

Do people really click ads and buy? Is there data of the whole from click to the buy revenue? Are your products US centric? If yes what part of the US do people click on your ads and buy the most?

1) yes, but i don't use their "buy" button with any of my clients, just simple links to website

2) as much as any old ad platform. conversion tracking is pretty simplistic on pinterest but it exists.

3) yes, but keep in mind pinterest doesn't let you target outside of US using their self-serve ads

4) the distribution is fairly normal compared to other platforms. i have not looked for pinterest specific outliers.
