This method allows the system to automatically insert and manage your Facebook Pixel. Ideal for users who want a quick and error-free setup.
Login to the correct Facebook account that manages the Pixel(s) you want to connect.
Hover over the Facebook platform in the OnePixel app, then click Auto input pixel.
In the Facebook modal, choose your Facebook account.
You can change this later under Settings.
Select your Business Manager account from the connected Facebook account.
⚠️ If you don't have a Business Manager account, you won't be able to use all app features.*
Choose the Pixel you want to set as your Main Pixel.
This Pixel will be installed on all pages of your Shopify store.
Click Finish to complete setup.
✅ The app will automatically insert your Pixel across the entire website by default.
Use this method if you prefer manual setup or don’t want to link your Facebook account directly.
Note: This method does not support syncing event data with the Analytics tab in OnePixel.
Go to the Facebook platform section in OnePixel.
Fill in the required fields:
Pixel name
Facebook Pixel ID
Target (choose one):
Entire page: Insert Pixel into all pages.

Click Save to complete the process.

If you used the Auto input method, OnePixel will pull event data from your Facebook Event Manager and display it in the Analytics tab.
⚠️ Event data may have a 24-hour delay due to Facebook's processing time.
Final Notes & Tips
For full functionality, we highly recommend using the Auto input method.
