+How to create a Legacy TikTok Pixel? (new)

Enter your TikTok Ads Dashboard homepage, which looks like:


Hover your mouse on the Tools tab in the top navigation bar, then click on Events.


Click on the Connect data source button that appears in the top right side of the page:


In the Pop Up window that appeared, choose Web and then click Next:


In the next step, click on the Skip button:


Choose the Manual setup option and then click Next:


In the next screen, Select TikTok Pixel (Do not Implement both TikTok Pixel and Events API). Then click Next.


Give a unique name to your pixel and then Create:



In the next step that opened, click on the Copy Code button.


Go back to TiXel's dashboard in your Shopify store and paste the Pixel Code you've just copied in the Pixel Code field.


Give a unique name to your new pixel and then click on the green Add Pixel button at the top of the page.


After that, you will see the pop-up. Kindly click on 'Copy Code' and then click on 'Continue Setup.'


A second pop-up will appear. Kindly click on 'Click Here,' and a new window will open (please do not close this window until the third pop-up). Then, follow the steps you see in the second pop-up: click on the 'Add Custom Pixel' button and give the pixel a name, such as the Pixel ID. After that, click on the 'Next Step' button.


The third pop-up will appear. Kindly follow the steps on the pop-up: you need to paste the code you copied from the first pop-up into the window that opened when you clicked 'Click Here' on the second pop-up. After pasting the code, click the 'Save' button, then click the 'Connect' button. Now the pixel is connected. Go back to the third pop-up and click on 'I've Added the Custom Pixel.'





Then the Tixel will trigger the events for you, and you are all set to go!



Now go back to the TikTok ads manager on the page where you copy the code to add to the Tixel, click on the Next.


On the next page, make sure that the Automatic Advanced Matching option is toggled OFF, and then click on the Next.


On the next page, then again, click on the Next without changing anything.


At the last page, click on the Finish and you are ready to use your legacy pixel.
