What This Setup Does (In Plain English)

When this is set up correctly, your website will be able to:

- Track visitor activity (like page views and purchases)

- Help improve your Facebook/Instagram ads

- Give you more accurate data (even with privacy settings and ad blockers)


There are two parts working together:

- Facebook Pixel → tracks activity in the browser

- Conversions API → sends data directly from your website to Meta

Together, they give you the most reliable results.


Before You Start

- A Facebook Pixel created in Events Manager

- Access to your ShinePages website


If you’ve previously added Pixel code manually, please remove it first.


STEP 1: Add Your Facebook Pixel (In ShinePages)

1. Go to Website Settings

2. Click Applications

3. Select Facebook Pixel

4. Paste your Pixel ID (not the full code)

5. Click Save and Verify
