- Select Shopify from the list of partners, then click Next.
- On the subsequent page, you will need to name your pixel. Click to edit and enter your desired pixel name for identification purposes, then click Create.
At this point, you have successfully created the pixel, but you'll need to integrate it with Shopify.
Step 3: Integrate TikTok Pixel with Shopify

- From the search results, select the TikTok app from TikTok and click it. This action will redirect you to the Shopify store for the TikTok app. Click the Install button.
