Tools We Will Use to Add TikTok Pixel

To add TikTok pixel to your WordPress, you will need the following free tools:

• WPCode (WordPress code plugin)
• TikTok Pixel Helper (Google Chrome Extension)

WPCode Plugin

WPCode plugin helps you add code snippets in WordPress without having to edit your theme’s functions.php file. If you add code to your functions.php file and never update the theme to switch to another theme, you will lose all the custom codes. Here is where WPCode makes a difference by providing you a way to inset header and footer scripts along with other code snippets directly from your WordPress dashboard. 

Installation: 

Go to the “Plugins” on the WordPress sidebar and then click on “Add New” to add a new plugin. In the search field, search for the “WPCode” plugin and install it. Once done with the installation, hit the “Activate” button to activate the plugin. 

And your WPCode will be ready to use. 

TikTok Pixel Helper

This Chrome extension helps you test and troubleshoot pixel installation on your WordPress website. This helps you look into real-time feedback with conversion-related information. 

Installation: 

Go to the “Chrome Web Store” and search for “TikTok Pixel Helper”, or click here. Now, hit the “Add to Chrome” button to add TikTok Pixel Helper. A window will pop up asking for the information. Hit the “Add Extension” to install the extension. And there your “TikTok Pixel Helper” will be ready to use. 

How to Create TikTok Pixel in WordPress?

Step 1: Creating the TikTok Pixel Code

First, you will need to set up the TikTok Ads Manager. Next, click on ‘Assets’ and then navigate to the “Events” page. Next, you will need to configure which events you want to share that happen on your application or website. 

Now, go to “Web Events” or if you have an application, go to “App Events” and then click on “Manage”. Here, you will need to set up the TikTok pixel. 

Click on “Create Pixel” to add a tick pixel in WordPress. Name it in the “Pixel Name” field. Now, click on “TikTok Pixel” as your connection and then click on the “Next” button. 

Next, you will have to let TikTok know that you will install the pixel by copying the code of your website. For that, you need to select “Manually Install Pixel Code” and then click on the “Next” button. Now, you can see the pixel code. Copy that by clicking on “Copy Pixel Code”. 

Now, go to your website and follow the next steps to add TikTok pixel to the WordPress website. 

Step 2: Adding the TikTok Pixel Code in WordPress

We suggest you use the WPCode plugin as it is the most powerful code snippet plugin available on WordPress. It helps you add custom codes to your WordPress website and it is very easy to configure. 

Install and activate the WPCode plugin. For more details, read how to install a WordPress plugin. 

Once done with activation, go to the “Code Snippets” and then search for “Header & Footer”. Here, paste the TikTok pixel code and then hit the “Save Changes” button to add the TikTok pixel to your WordPress website. 

Step 3: Creating and Testing the Events to Track

Now, when you again return to the TikTok Ads Manager website, you will need to use “Event Builder” to complete the setup. There are two types of events that you can track namely, “URL events” and “Click events”. 

The “URL Events” will track each time someone visits a specific page on your website. Click on the “ + Enter URL Keywords” button and enter the event type and some keywords from the URL. 

There are some “Click Events” that track when someone clicks on a product and selects an element like the “Add to Cart” button or form submission button. When you click the ‘ + Add Web Elements ‘ you will be redirected to the “Pixel Helper” Chrome extension. This extension will help you add TikTok pixels and click events. 

And that’s it! With these simple steps, you can easily add TikTok pixels to your website and start monetizing. 

Check if TikTok Pixel Is Working Properly

You will need to check if your setup is working properly or not. Here, in this blog, we will use “TikTok Pixel Helper” to test the events. Now, let’s test the firing events by navigating to the service or product page on your WooCommerce store. When you land here, the chrome extension will notify the number of pixels running on a specific page. 

Now, you will notice that the “Page View” event is being fired. Now, click on any product and you will see “Page View” and “View Content” events on the extension. 

Now, when you add any item to the cart and start the checkout process, you will see “Page View”, ‘Add to Cart” and “Initiate Checkout” events here. Next, when you complete the purchase, you will see “Place an Order” and “Page View” events. 

If you can see all the events, then your TikTok Pixel has been set up properly.
