wicked reports: get accurate roi on pinterest ads
It's new! Pinterest cost integration is available now with Wicked Reports.
First party attribution data from Wicked Reports captures the entire buying cycle of leads generated from all your marketing activities. The tricky part with Pinterest is that these leads are often in the research phase and can take a long time to buy. Other marketing activities may help generate the sale, but you want to attribute that sale back to Pinterest for the most accurate ROI possible

What is a Good ROAS for Ecommerce? Benchmarks & ROI Tracking
By Scott Desgrosseilliers on May 10, 2022, 12:00:00 PM
WHAT IS A GOOD ROAS FOR ECOMMERCE IN 2026? THE HONEST ANSWER (AND WHY THE NUMBER LIES)
Everyone wants a single number - what's a good ROAS? Here's the honest answer up front — the commonly quoted benchmark is 3:1 to 4:1, but the actual 2026 ecommerce average has slid to around 2.87:1, and the median is closer to 2:1. That means roughly half of all ecommerce brands are running below a 2:1 return. So if you're benchmarking against "4:1," you're comparing yourself to a number most stores never hit.
But the bigger problem isn't the benchmark. It's that ROAS itself — the way most brands measure it — is being quietly mis-reported by the very platforms you're using to calculate it. Let's fix both.
