Integration with Facebook Pixel .. Step by Step
Facebook Pixel is a code that serves as the link between your online store and the Facebook account of your brand, to link them and give you access to many advantages that help you in managing your store, such as data and analysis of your customers and their behavior on the website.
But how does this happen? For example, if your online store sells electronic products such as smartphones and laptops, when a list of customers purchases a mobile phone, you can target them again via Facebook ads (dynamic ads) with products related to that phone, such as a phone cover or a power bank charger.
