All things Shopify and commerce
Hi, I just connected a pixel from Shopify to my Facebook ad account. The Event Manager won't only show the purchase event. This is the first time I'm doing this and I don't know if it has to be this way, maybe this event will appear after someone makes their first purchase? Please help me understand this. And I can't find the same thing in the event manager that you can change the priority of events.

It sounds like you've successfully connected your Pixel from Shopify to your Facebook ad account, which is a great first step in tracking your website events for advertising purposes. Regarding the purchase event not showing up immediately in the Event Manager, there could be a couple of reasons for this:
No Purchases Yet: If you haven't had any purchases made on your Shopify store since connecting the Pixel, then the purchase event won't show up in the Event Manager until someone completes a purchase. Once a purchase is made, Facebook will start tracking that event and it will appear in the Event Manager.
Pixel Configuration: Make sure that your Pixel is set up correctly on your Shopify store. Double-check that the Pixel code is implemented properly on all relevant pages, especially the checkout confirmation page where the purchase event should trigger.

Thank you for your reply. So there have been no purchases yet, and the pixel reflects all the events well
