Facebook Pixel not working

[vibexplosion]

Hello, I just created my second shopify store, and everything was going smooth until I tried to verify connection of the pixel. The pixel connected perfectly with my shopify and the facebook pixel helper extension can read the pixel perfectly as well, but when it tries to verify connection on facebook, it says no activity. Please help!

Same exact issue with me. It's driving me insane!!

Shopify help!!

[vibexplosion]

I know man, this issue is driving me crazy too, I hope shopify responds soon, I'm trying to get my second shop open and running and I can't do that without my facebook pixel working to run ads.

This is nuts!! This is literally an essential service and Shopify boasts the simplicity of integrating the FB pixel but it just isn't working. Test events doesn't populate anything and Pixel Helper is running perfectly...

Hell ya brother!! Thanks for sending this in the discussion, best of luck on your store!

Hi team!

I've the same issue, I tried to install FB pixel, and since I set it through the FB app, events are not firing correctly (only fired Page View and sometimes InitiatedCheckout). We tried to uninstalled FB app and install the pixel in the native spot through Online Store--> Preferences, but it's still not working. Furthermore, we uninstalled the app and continue showing the pixel (if we check FB pixel helper).

Please help us!

Same issue here... Ever since they released the FB app, it is NO longer working. The app is horribly glitchy. For some reason add to cart, initiate checkout and even add payment info are being correctly tracked (I had to use a different page = shop.myshop.com to be able to see all 3 correctly or I was only able to see PageViews!!!!) but NOT purchase. I have tried to get someone to explain what was happening but no luck. They have NO ETA on when to fix this. I am running campaigns without even being able to track my sales!!! How silly is that?!

We wasted more than one month of FB ads, because FB optimisation was a disaster (we were targeting Add to Cart and of course event fires were incorrectly measure)

Hi all, This was a SOLUTION for me.

My issue was that I removed the Pixel ID from the store's preferences and installed the Facebook App as suggested by shopify.

AFter I did that, I played a bit with the settings and I checked the "california" option below. After this, the Pixel was NOT firing at all on the store.

I even contacted support thinking there was an error.

AFter around 1 hour or so of playing with facebook manager, I came back here and unchecked these options and BOOM!

The new facebook channel app for installing the facebook pixel started working without any issues or problems.

Check your preferences and try unchecking these options.

Cheers!

Where do we find that?

[Puda]

Unless you are just targeting California, that shouldn't impact anything. Also, the California one will become mandatory on October 20: https://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/action-recommended-update-facebook-pixel-for-ccpa-compliance/ (Unless you fall under certain categories which may be the case: https://www.getelevar.com/gtm/facebook-pixel-ccpa-compliance-shopify/) In that case, it technically shouldn't even impact you.

The FB Pixel has stopped working for me. I used the horrendous app that they released and it actually worked in the beginning but then at some point it stopped.

If I use the Pixel Helper extension on my site it says "No pixels found". What in the name of god am I gonna do now? I cannot advertise my business.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thx, you just SOLVED my problem. I been stuck with this for a week.. pretending that everything is OKAY.

[YOURBUJO]

Thaaaaank you!!!!!! It is the same for Europe: We have the GDPR and it doesn't allow tracking till the user accept it. It was checked and I didn't get any events. After unchecking the events worked.

Thank you!

Nice, I'm either on the wrong page, or they keep changing their pages.  Where is the Business Tools Terms, they talk about above?  

[benbrez]

Just realized I forgot to disable adblock on my own website. Once I turned it off ads manager was able to register my traffic.

To change those privacy settings, go to Online Store > Preferences and scroll to Customer privacy. There you should find the options for California and Europe privacy settings.

This is exactly what happens to my store.

1. The Facebook Pixel Helper chrome extensions only show PageView and Initiate Check, but not Purchases, Add to Cart, etc...

2. In Facebook Event Manager, Purchases and Add to Cart events are recorded as being fired even though the Pixel Helper does not reflect that. However, Purchases, Add to Cart, AddPaymentInfo are NOT attributed to the ad. I know this for sure because I clicked on my own ads to purchase when it shows up in my feed because I fit the targeting criteria.

Very frustrated Shopify said it’s Facebook’s problem and Facebook said it’s Shopify’s.

I did install the new Facebook Channel Integration app. It was working fine before the installation.

Did you find a solution for this?
