  • Optimization:  The pixel will allow you to automatically bid on conversion once set up.
  • Remarketing:  Easily remarket to those who visit your site or take specific rule based actions

The good news for many of you reading this is that on Shopify the process of adding a pixel is as simple as turning it on within the Shopify admin.  You can follow through step by step below with your Shopify panel open next to you.  For all other platforms, our team certainly would be more than eager to help you setup your Facebook Pixel.
