To dynamically add the Pinterest "Save" button to multiple images on your photography website using Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a Pinterest developer account: Visit the Pinterest for Developers website and create an account. This will allow you to generate a Pinterest API key.

  2. Generate a Pinterest API key: Once you have your Pinterest developer account, generate an API key. This key will allow you to interact with Pinterest's API.

  3. Copy the Pinterest JavaScript SDK: Visit the Pinterest for Developers website and navigate to the JavaScript SDK section. Copy the provided JavaScript code.

  4. Add the JavaScript code to your Webflow project: In Webflow, open the Designer and navigate to the project settings. In the Custom Code tab, paste the JavaScript code you copied from the Pinterest website into the Footer Code field.

  5. Add a Pinterest "Save" button to your images: Insert an image element onto your Webflow page for each image you want to include the Pinterest "Save" button. Give each image a unique ID or class to identify them later.

  6. Use custom code to initialize the Pinterest "Save" button: Open the page settings for the page where you want to add the Pinterest "Save" buttons. In the Custom Code tab, add a <script> tag to include your custom JavaScript code. Inside the script tags, use the Pinterest JavaScript SDK functions to initialize the "Save" button for each image you want to include it on. The code will use the image's ID or class to identify where to add the button.

  7. Customize the Pinterest "Save" button: If you want to customize the appearance of the Pinterest "Save" button, you can reference the Pinterest for Developers website for available options and modify the JavaScript code accordingly.

  8. Preview and publish your Webflow project: Before publishing your website, make sure to preview it to ensure the Pinterest "Save" buttons are appearing correctly. Once you're satisfied, publish your Webflow project.

By following these steps, you should be able to dynamically add the Pinterest "Save" button to multiple images on your photography website using Webflow. This will allow your visitors to easily save your images to their Pinterest boards, helping to increase visibility and engagement.
