Facebook Pixel helps you retarget those visitors with ads that are relevant to them, like reminding someone about the hoodie they left in their cart or showing them similar items they might love.

And yes, it works seamlessly with your Tradift store. If you're serious about growing your brand, boosting conversions, and saving ad money while doing it, Facebook Pixel is your behind-the-scenes MVP.

What is Facebook Pixel?

The Facebook Pixel, now known as the Meta Pixel, is a small piece of JavaScript code that you install on your website.

This data allows you to measure the effectiveness of your ads, build targeted audiences, and improve your marketing strategy based on real user behavior.

Once installed, it tracks specific actions users take on your website, like making a purchase, viewing a product, or signing up for a newsletter. This allows you to understand how your ads perform, improve targeting, and boost conversions.
