Introduction

Setting up a TikTok Pixel for your Shopify store is a crucial step before launching your ad campaigns. This pixel is similar to the engine of a car; without it, your ads won't run effectively. In this article, we’ll take you through the process step-by-step to ensure your TikTok Pixel is correctly implemented.

Step 1: Create a TikTok Business Account
