Facebook Pixel is a tracking tool will allow you to determine the effectiveness of your Facebook ads. You can easily check and analyze the actions and the way people interact with your ads and behave on your store as a result of the ad. The tool goes beyond that, though, and allows you to create retargeting audiences for your ads as well.

Every ecommerce can benefit greatly from Facebook Pixel by generating more sales. So today in this guide I’m going to teach you how to add Facebook Pixel in Magento 2. For this, I will use Facebook Pixel extension by Apptrian.
