# Track ticket sales with your Google Ads pixel

Import your Google Ads pixel once so Google Ads can link campaign activity to your ticket sales.

For:  Running campaigns in Google Ads

Takes:  5 minutes

- [Copy your Google Ads pixel code](#step-1)
- [Import it in your brand settings](#step-2)
- [Check it appears under Google Ads](#step-3)
- [Check a sale reports back](#step-4)

## What you need 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 Google Ads tracking snippet.

1. ## Copy your Google Ads pixel code

   In Google Ads, open the conversion action for a completed ticket sale. Copy both the Google tag and its event snippet, including the send\_to value that starts with AW-, and paste them together.

   The event snippet identifies the purchase conversion action. A base Google tag on its own can measure visits but cannot assign a ticket sale to that action.
2. ## Import it in your brand settings

   Open **Network Conversion Tracking Pixels** and select **Import Tracking Pixel**. Under **Paste complete pixel code**, paste the full Google Ads snippet, check that the dialog detects Google Ads and the right ID, then select **Import Pixel**.

3. ## Check it appears under Google Ads

   Open the **Google Ads** tab. It shows the imported ID and the tracking calls Ticket Fairy sends.

   You can import more than one, so an agency running two Google Ads accounts against the same event can add both.

4. ## Check a sale reports back

   Buy a ticket on your own event, or use a test order. Look for the purchase event in Google Ads.

   If it arrives with the order value on it, the pixel is wired correctly and that reported conversion carries the same value as the completed order.

## Or have it done for you

Fai can add this pixel after asking you to approve the change when you give it the complete snippet from Google Ads. You can also add it in the dashboard.

## Questions you might have

How do I add a Google Ads pixel to my event page?:  Open Network Conversion Tracking Pixels and select Import Tracking Pixel. Under Paste complete pixel code, paste the full Google Ads snippet, check that the dialog detects Google Ads and the right ID, then select Import Pixel. The Google Ads pixel then runs on every event page under that brand and through checkout, so you set it up once rather than per event.

Which Google Ads events does Ticket Fairy fire?:  Your Google tag runs gtag('config', 'AW-ID') when it loads. Ticket Fairy sends ViewContent with view\_item when someone opens your event, InitiateCheckout with begin\_checkout when they start buying, and Purchase when the sale completes. The conversion action receives the order value, currency and transaction ID, while the companion Google Analytics purchase includes the ticket items.

Can I enter only the pixel ID?:  Use the complete snippet. It keeps the provider settings the ID alone does not carry, such as the conversion action or region, so Ticket Fairy can send each sale to the right destination.

Will my Google Ads pixel fire if buyers check out on my own website?:  Yes. The embedded checkout sends the same events at the same points as the hosted checkout, so Google Ads records a sale on your own site the same way.
