It used to be required to pay for scheduled posts on Pinterest. A more recent development is that scheduling may now be done within the app itself. In the upper right-hand corner of the Pinterest page, click the plus sign in the red circle.

Pinterest says: "Though you can only schedule one Pin at a time, you can have up to 30 scheduled for the future."
Are you able to pin the same pin over and over? If sent to different boards and on different days this is possible. Pinterest may say if the pin was recently added, so be careful to not pin to the same board repeatedly in short order.
