About Us
Welcome to Pintap! A startup based in Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪
People have always influenced what we buy.
A recommendation from someone we trust can be more meaningful than a traditional advertisement.
​
Pintap makes the value of those recommendations shareable and measurable. We give customers, creators, ambassadors, and everyday recommenders an easy way to recommend the products they love - privately or publicly - and earn a commission when someone buys.
​
The creator economy has shown how powerful the relationship between people and brands can be. Pintap opens that opportunity to everyone, not just professional creators.
​
Pintap is commerce by people.
