Setting up the new Facebook Pixel for WooCommerce is easy as pie.
- Download and install our forever free plugin
- Add your Facebook Pixel ID
- You’re all set!
See? It really is easy. However, we also struggled setting up the new Facebook Pixels on our WooCommerce sites. Moreover, we had to build our own solution, so we decided to make it available to everyone for free. This is how Facebook Pixel for WooCommerce was born. In addition, you won’t come across any hidden fees, any monthly fees, this plugin is forever free, all features included.
Important: in 2016, Facebook retired the old Facebook pixel, so it is hard to avoid this free plugin!
Activate the WooCommerce Facebook Pixel
- Click on Facebook Pixel in the left menu
- Add your Pixel ID How to find my pixel ID
