I have setup facebook & instagram app in my shopify store. Connected pixel with maximum tracking. But pixel is not tracking any data. Not in test events in facebook. Also pixel not showing in pixel helper extension.

same for tiktok app and youtube and google.

How to resolve it?

If you mention that your Facebook pixel is not simply visible in Meta Pixel Helper, that means it may not have been implemented properly. Recheck your setup in the Facebook and Instagram app.

But let’s say the pixel setup is correct, and in case the pixel is linked to your Facebook account and you can view it in your Events Manager account as well, then there might be some other issue why the pixel might not have appeared in Meta Pixel Helper and it is not tracking and sending accurate data. For example, due to outdated cache. Or because of an ad blocker causing disruption.

Check for these issues and resolve them.

Based on experience, I will also suggest you use a specialized Facebook Pixel app. It’s because such apps are developed specifically to handle the technical setup more reliably and reduce the chances of errors in conversion tracking.

AdNabu’s Facebook Pixel app can be a great option. It’s a free, Built For Shopify-certified app that allows 1-click implementation of Facebook pixels and offers many other features, such as server-side tracking and advanced matching.

Also, based on your concern, I can see you have issues with TikTok and Google Ad pixels as well, right? AdNabu also offers a Google Ads conversion pixel app that can try to resolve similar issues of pixel implementation and conversion tracking.

And for TikTok, I suggest you check TikTok’s help center to troubleshoot TikTok Pixel errors.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for your detailed reply. The instagram and facebook and other apps are working perfectly on my other shopify stores. But not on one I am talking about. Please let me know if you have any about issue?

Thanks again.

1. Theme Doesn’t Load Tracking Scripts

Some custom or third-party themes don’t automatically inject tracking scripts from apps. You’re using the Sleek theme, so we need to manually confirm this.

Do this:

  • Go to Online Store > Themes > Edit code

  • Open theme.liquid

  • Scroll and confirm this is just before :

liquid

CopyEdit

{{ content_for_header }}

 

If it’s missing — none of your tracking scripts can run. Add it back in immediately before like this:

liquid

CopyEdit

… {{ content_for_header }} 

 

2. Check If You’ve Blocked Cookies / Scripts (via app or code)

If you’ve installed a cookie banner app, tracking protection app, or script-blocker (like GDPR-compliance apps), they may block all tags by default.

Try:

  • Disabling any cookie control apps temporarily

  • Refreshing the page with ad-blockers disabled

  • Visiting your site in incognito and checking with Meta Pixel Helper again

3. Use Meta Pixel Helper (Chrome Extension)

If you’re using the helper and it shows no pixel ID, it means:

  • Either content_for_header is missing (see above)

  • Or the Pixel isn’t connected in Shopify admin

Go to Sales Channels > Facebook & Instagram > Settings > Data Sharing Settings

  • Select “Maximum” tracking

  • Ensure your Pixel ID is displayed and linked correctly

Repeat similar steps for TikTok and Google.

Even after everything is set up correctly, if tracking scripts are disabled in the checkout or post-purchase areas or head scripts are removed, Shopify will NOT fire any tracking events — especially under modern privacy rules.
