Advertising your event
Connect advertising pixels to your ticket sales
Promoters spending money on Meta, TikTok, Google or any other ad network need to know which campaign actually sold the ticket, not only which one got the click. One connection per network at brand level is enough for every event page and checkout under your brand to report views, checkout starts and completed sales back to it.
Connect Meta and your other advertising networks at brand level so you can see which campaigns led to ticket sales.

Before you start
- You're an owner, an admin or on the marketing team for this brand. If you can't open Integrations, ask an owner or an admin to do this part or to give you access.
- You have the complete tracking snippet for any network you want to add with Import Tracking Pixel. Meta is different because you sign in rather than paste code.
-
Open Integrations for your brand
Open the brand you sell under, then go to Integrations.
Brand settings, Integrations, Meta conversion tracking. -
Sign in to Meta
In Meta conversion tracking, select Connect Meta and sign in with the Facebook account that has access to your ads.
Note: Meta works differently from the other networks: there is no ID to paste.
-
Pick the ad account and the pixel
Choose the ad account you use for your event ads, then the pixel your sales should report to.
Brand settings, Integrations, Meta conversion tracking. -
Turn Meta tracking on
Select Turn on tracking.
Note: This gives Meta another way to match ticket sales to your ads when browser tracking is blocked.
-
Add the other networks you advertise on
Open Network Conversion Tracking Pixels, select Import Tracking Pixel, paste the complete snippet under Paste complete pixel code, check the detected network and ID, then select Import Pixel. Each advertising or measurement network you use needs its own import.
Brand settings, Integrations, Tracking pixels. -
Check that each network records a sale
Buy a ticket on your own event, or use a test order. The purchase then appears in that network's own reporting, such as Meta Events Manager.
Note: When the purchase appears, the pixel is connected to your checkout.

Questions you might have
- Where do I put my Meta pixel in Ticket Fairy?
- In your brand settings, under Integrations. Meta has a guided setup of its own, above the other networks: you connect Meta, pick the ad account and the pixel, and turn tracking on. There is no ID to copy and no token to paste.
- Which advertising networks can I track, besides Meta?
- TikTok, Spotify, Reddit, X, Google Ads, Google Analytics, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Microsoft Bing, Amazon DSP and ChatGPT can report activity and sales. There is also a custom option for another network you use.
- Can I add more than one pixel for the same network?
- You can add more than one for every listed network except Spotify and Microsoft Bing. For either of those, use the pixel for the ads account that runs this brand's campaigns.
- Will tracking still work when buyers check out on my website?
- Yes. The embedded checkout sends the same events to the same pixels as the hosted checkout, so the networks you connected receive sales from your own site the same way.
