Meta Pixel Integration

The Meta Pixel, also known as a Facebook Pixel, is a piece of JavaScript code that you place on your online store to track and measure the effectiveness of your Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns. It focuses on tracking user behavior, engagement, and conversions specifically within those ads.

Meta Pixel is created in Facebook Ads Manager. When you add Meta Pixel in the Business Manager, you can run ads and track their performance on both Facebook and Instagram.
