Introduction
In this article, we will explore the process of connecting your TikTok pixel to your Shopify store. Many YouTube videos overcomplicate this process, but I will provide you with the simplest version of how to do it from inside an active Shopify account. By following these steps, you will be able to connect your TikTok pixel quickly and easily.
Connecting TikTok Pixel to Shopify Store
The first step after setting up your TikTok ad account is to install the pixel on your Shopify store. To do this, we will head over to the App Store and search for the TikTok app. Once we find the app, which is free to install, we will add it to our store as a sales channel.
Installing the TikTok App
After adding the TikTok app to our Shopify store, we will proceed to set it up. Shopify will identify your TikTok account, and you need to select "connect" if you already have a TikTok ads manager created. If you don't have one set up, you can easily create a new one by following the simple steps provided.
Setting Up TikTok Ads Manager
To ensure that our TikTok pixel is set up properly, we need to select the maximum level of data sharing. This option can be found in the settings of our TikTok ads manager. By scrolling down, we will see the option and confirm our selection.
Creating a TikTok Pixel
Once the pixel is set up, we can check if it was created successfully inside our TikTok ads manager. By navigating to the assets section and selecting events, we can manage our web events. Here, we will find our TikTok pixel, which confirms that it has been created.
Maximizing Data Sharing
To optimize the performance of our TikTok pixel, it is crucial to select the maximum level of data sharing. This ensures that we can leverage the full potential of the pixel and gather valuable insights for our Shopify store.
Checking Pixel Setup in TikTok Ads Manager
To verify that our TikTok pixel was set up properly, we can go to the TikTok ads manager and check the pixel's status. By navigating to the web events section, we can manage and monitor the performance of our pixel.
Successfully Connecting TikTok Account to Shopify Store
