How to Add Facebook Pixel to Wix

Updated: Apr 12

If you have a Wix website and use Facebook Ads then it's a good idea to install Facebook Pixel on your website to track conversions as a result of Facebook Ads.

Facebook Ads can retarget specific audiences and give you valuable insight into how your users are interacting with your website content.

What is Facebook Pixel?

A pixel is a small piece of code created by Facebook that you can then install on your Wix website. When you install a pixel on a website page’s code, you’re actually placing an invisible 1×1 pixel image. This image sends information to Facebook when a customer completes an action on your website.

Facebook Pixel gives you a wide range of actions, which include:

  • View content

  • Search

  • Add to cart

  • Add to wishlist

  • Start checkout process

  • Add payment information

  • Complete purchase

  • Lead

  • Complete registration

You can also now customize parameters for the above actions. The available parameters are:

  • Value currency

  • Content name

  • Content category

  • Content ID

  • Content type

  • Number of items

  • Search string

  • Status

For more information about actions and parameters, read Using the Marketing API with the Facebook Pixel.
