Choose the SALES cutover while campaign outcomes conflict

You’re the product manager. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 15, 2026.

The SALES cutover protects delivery only if optimization and reporting still describe the same event.

Advertiser continuity pulls toward a broad default mapping, while measurement credibility requires exceptions to be understood before legacy objectives retire.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My finance lead asked why the campaign says purchases in one place and start trial in another.”

Hillevi Forsberg · Performance Marketing Director

Owns paid-media efficiency for an ecommerce advertiser migrating active Performance+ campaigns to SALES.

What is at stake

Active Performance+ campaigns can keep spending while reporting names a different optimization event. You must weigh migration continuity against measurement credibility before legacy objectives retire.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • migration speed vs. event-level measurement credibility
  • stable delivery vs. preserved optimization intent
  • standardized mapping vs. conversion-type exceptions
  • legacy retirement vs. advertiser trust

Why Pinterest

Performance+ ROAS-goal bidding depends on conversion signals that advertisers can connect to the outcome shown in reporting.
