Installing Facebook Pixel

Integrating your Clover Site with a Facebook Pixel gives you access to robust analytics to track conversions from Facebook.

A Facebook pixel is code that you place on your website. It collects data that helps you track conversions from Facebook ads, optimize ads, build targeted audiences for future ads, and re-market to people who have already taken some kind of action on your website.
Note: It is also needed if you ever decided to create a genuine Instagram shop.
