Facebook ads is one of the best digital marketing channels to help a business acquire new customers.

If you are running any type of Facebook advertising campaign for your Magento 2 website, using Facebook Pixel is essential to help you optimize your Facebook ad campaigns.

In short, Facebook Pixel is like Google Analytics for Facebook ads! It allows you to better target your ads and see how effective they are when converting clicks into sales.

And in this article we will show you 3 methods to add Facebook Pixel to Magento 2:

  • Method 1: Using a free Magento 2 Facebook pixel extension.
  • Method 2: Integrate Facebook Pixel code to Magento 2 using Google Tag Manager.
  • Method 3: Manually insert Pixel code to Magento 2 website – No plugin required.

If you plan to use custom audiences and conversion goals, we recommend using a plugin. But if you just want to use Facebook Pixel to create Lookalike objects and other basic features, then the manual code implementation is the simplest solution for your needs.

What is Facebook pixel code

The Facebook Pixel is a code block (javascript) you get from Facebook.

By inserting Facebook Pixel code on your website, Facebook can collect data and help you measure the effectiveness of your advertising, optimize your ads, build a custom target audience to use for your next Ads campaign.

Facebook Pixel Code can also be used for Facebook remarketing campaigns, targets customers who visited your website.

How to get Facebook Pixel Code

To get Facebook Pixel code follow these steps:

Step 1: Go to Event Manager section and click on Connect data sources

Connect data sources

Step 2: Select Web and follow all the steps and create your Pixel code. Now click on Install Code Manually to get your Pixel code

Step 3: Now you can get the pixel code for your ads account, click on Copy to get the code

An example of Pixel code

!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)
{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?
n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};
if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';

Method 1: (Recommended) Install Facebook Pixel code to Magento 2 using a free extension

After getting the pixel code, we will start installing this code to our Magento 2 website.

The extension will do all the hard tasks for you. All you need to do is insert Facebook Pixel ID into the extension.

    Hi
    thanks for the article
    would pasting the Facebook pixel into the HTML head field in Magento 2 would deliver the same results as if it was installed by one of the apps described? if so why bother using an app.
    Detailed reply would be appreciated

  2. Hung Tran Post Author

    By using the extension, you will be able to use advanced pixel setting like:
    Enable/Disable from the backend
    -Track your visitors’ events
    -Track Purchases
    -Track Add To Wishlist events
    -Track Product Views
    -Track Category Views
    -Track Searches
    -Individual Facebook Pixel ID can be used for different stores
    -Possibility to enable or disable individual page view events
    The extension will do the pixel integration for you. If you just insert pixel code to header/footer, there will be no advanced tracking features. You will have to add these even trackers manually.
