Meta Pixel

Creating Your Meta Pixel

- Create a Pixel (or Dataset): Click "Add" and select "Web." Then, choose "Meta Pixel."
- Name Your Pixel/Dataset: Provide a descriptive name for your pixel/dataset. Note that Meta has moved towards datasets, which can contain multiple pixels and other data sources.
- Install Base Code: Choose "Install code manually" to obtain your pixel's base code.
- Copy and Paste the Base Code: Copy the provided pixel base code.
- Event Setup: You can now set up standard events, custom events, or conversion tracking. Alternatively, click "Continue" to proceed to your pixel dashboard.
Configuring the Meta Pixel on Mystore
