Creating a Facebook pixel
You can start to create your Facebook pixel. To create a Facebook tracking pixel, please follow the steps listed here:
1. After logging into your Facebook account, navigate to Facebook Events Manager.
2. Click on the green + button on the left called 'Connect Data Sources'.
3. Now select Web and click 'Get Started'.
4. Select Facebook Pixel and click 'Connect'.
5. Now give a name to this pixel and fill in your B2B eCommerce Store URL. If you use a custom domain, fill in your custom domain name (e.g., https://mystorename.com). If you don’t use a custom domain, fill in your B2B store URL (e.g., https://storename.gogecko.com).
6. Your Facebook Pixel has been created and it’s now time to retrieve the ID. 🙌🏽 You can close this dialogue box.
7. You will now see the new Data Source. Click 'Settings'.
8. You will see your Pixel ID. Copy or save a screenshot to your desktop.
If you get stuck during your Facebook pixel creation, refer to the steps provided by Facebook here.
You can now view your analytics at www.facebook.com/analytics.
Step 2
Add the Facebook pixel ID in your TradeGecko B2B Admin
Now that you have created a Facebook pixel and retrieved the Pixel ID, it’s time for you to add it to your B2B online store preferences in TradeGecko. This will enable your B2B store to integrate with the Facebook pixel.
1. First, go to your TradeGecko B2B Store Admin. (i.e., storename.gogecko.com/admin)
2. On the top right-hand corner, click on B2B Tools and then 'Tracking' on the sidebar.
3. In the Facebook pixel section, paste the pixel ID you had previously copied/saved. Your pixel Tracking ID should be a 15 digit number.
4. Once done, click ‘Save Tracking Info’.
If you have recently added a Facebook pixel to your B2B Store, then you will need to wait for customer activity before you see any data/insights being aggregated in Facebook Ads Manager.
Then, you can make sure that it has been integrated seamlessly by using Facebook Ads Manager or clicking here.
