Facebook Pixel is designed to track the effectiveness of advertising spending, conversion optimization, and remarketing. With the help of this mechanism, it is possible to track conversions for each promotion channel and compare the amount spent on promotion with the store's revenue. It is also possible to organize remarketing with your store visitors, e.g. display ads for your product to Facebook visitors who have not made a purchase (one of the remarketing options).
To connect Pixel to your store, you need:
- Register a Facebook Pixel account.
