Facebook pixel
The Facebook pixel (now called âMeta pixelâ) is a piece of code you place on your website that collects data for you to track conversions from Facebook ads, optimize ads, build targeted audiences for future ads and remarket your products to people on Facebook.
How to get permissions to an existing pixel
To share an existing pixel, you need to contact the Meta Business Manager that owns it. The Business Manager admin can add others to the pixel or to the ad account associated with the pixel by making them admins of the Business Manager, then:
- Go to "Business Settings"
- Below "Data Sources", click pixels
- Select the pixel that you'd like to add someone to
- Click "Add People"
- Select the people and the tasks you want to assign
- Click "Assign"

How to install the Facebook pixel on your website
Once you've created your Facebook pixel, you're ready to put the pixel code on your website.
There are several setup options for this:

Letâs run you through the different steps for the three different options:
Manually add pixel code to website
Use a partner integration

- Click the âData sourcesâ icon on the left-hand side of the page
- Select the pixel you want to set up
- Click âContinue pixel setupâ
- Click âUse a partnerâ
- Select your partner integration from the list

You can also set up your Facebook pixel on your website by going to the âPartner integrations pageâ in âEvents Managerâ, selecting your partner, and following the on-screen instructions.
Email instructions to your developer
If someone else updates the code on your website, follow these steps to email them your Meta pixel setup instructions.
- Go to âEvents Managerâ
- Click the âData sourcesâ tab on the left-hand side of the page
- Select the pixel that you want to set up
- Click âContinue pixel setupâ

Set up events
After you've added the Meta pixel base code to your website, you can set up events to measure the actions visitors take on your website, such as making a purchase. You can do this by manually installing the code or by using the point-and-click Event setup tool. Then, make sure that your Meta pixel is working correctly.
Note: You should use the same Facebook pixel across your entire website. Thereâs no need to create multiple pixels for different pages or events.
If you use the Meta pixel to share events with Meta, we recommend that you also use the Conversions API. The Conversions API works with your Meta pixel to help improve the performance and measurement of your Meta ad campaigns.
