Default Pinterest Add On

Does the Pinterest Add on have a cost for 3dCart?
It was mentioned in the March release notes, but I am having trouble finding details.

My Search So Far:

Forums:
- Some code
- Mention its in the March release.

3dCart App Store - Nothing

Knowledge Base - Nothing

Using Google came up with a page on how great Pinterest is on the 3dCart blog page:
Pinterest Drives More Referral Traffic Than Google+ | 3dcart Shopping Cart Software Blog
But no link to 3dCart's Solution.

Finally found it, after looking at the Facebook Solution (is it $199 or $249 - depends on which page you look at), it said you may also want to look at Pinterest Pin It Button for Websites for $199.
Pinterest Pin It Button for Websites

Now I have the question is does the $199 package have any advantage on the code in the forum?

I'm no coding wizard by ANY stretch of the imagination but I was able to add the follow me on pinterest button myself to my left global banner and the "pin it" code to my right global banner. The code is generated for you on pinterest in their "goodies" area?

I did the code myself on our sites, and it is dynamic.
That code was posted on the forum here: Pinterest, read the posts towards the middle and lower you have great tweaking ideas there.

If you are comfortable with adding a couple of lines of codes (Copy/edit/paste) no need spend the money.

Also, the social bookmarking buttons from "Add This" now includes the Pinterest button, these social bookmarking is available on each product page.

I'm not seeing this in my social bookmarking bar--is there something I need to do to add it?

Click on the "+" next to your social bookmarking buttons.
Keep in mind, only the mostly used buttons will be displayed in front of that button, the rest you need to click on it expand to see other available sources. More you use it sooner it will get to the top of the list.

You should go to AddThis - Share Button, Social Bookmark, Sharing Plugins and Analytics and sign up for an account there. They make the social bookmarking widget.
If you add your username to the widget, then you can receive stats about usage from addthis.

You can use the standard widget that will show the most popular buttons, or you can customize the widget any way you want.

replace USERNAME (in two locations below) with your addthis user name. Replace YOURWEBSITE with your web site

in 3dcart Social Bookmarking, click advanced and paste this code with modifications. This has Google plus and Pinterest
Code:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "> <a href="https://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&amp;pubid=USERNAME" class="addthis_button_compact"></a> <span class="addthis_separator">|</span> <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a> <span class="addthis_separator">|</span> <a class="addthis_button_print"></a> <span class="addthis_separator">|</span> <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone"></a> <a class="addthis_button_pinterest" pi:pinit:media="http://www.YOURSITE.com/[image1]" pi:pinit:layout="none"></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=USERNAME"></script> <!-- AddThis Button END -->

Here is the code I use. It grabs the image, page url and pricing:

Code:
<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=[page_url]&media=http://www.YOURSITE.com/[image1]&description=[price] [description]" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="none">Pin It</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>
