The Facebook Pixel enables you to create custom audiences in Facebook Ad Manager to retarget your donor base or create look-alike audiences to reach out to new potential donors.
The Give Pixel Tracking add-on extends your core Facebook Pixel integration to add events to your GiveWP donation activity.
Activating this add-on on your website (with the Facebook pixel already implemented), you'll automatically have the following events triggered:
- The Donate event upon every successful donation
- The Purchase event upon every successful donation. This passes the currency and donation amount to your Ad Manager as well.
- The
CompleteRegistration
event if your form either forces user registration, or if your donor opts to have a user account created.
You can learn about this and other events via the
Facebook Business Help section.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
This add-on does not implement the Facebook pixel on your website. It assumes you've already implemented the Facebook pixel in one form or another. Without the Facebook pixel on your website, this add-on does not function at all.

- An existing Facebook Pixel implemented on your website
- WordPress 4.9 or greater

Automatic installation
Automatic installation is the easiest option as WordPress handles the file transfers itself and you don't need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of Give, log in to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to the Plugins menu and click Add New.
In the search field type "Give Pixel Tracking" and click Search Plugins. Once you have found the plugin you can view details about it such as the the point release, rating and description. Most importantly of course, you can install it by simply clicking "Install Now".
Manual installation
The manual installation method involves downloading our donation plugin and uploading it to your server via your favorite FTP application. The WordPress codex contains
instructions on how to do this here.
Updating
Automatic updates should work like a charm; as always though, ensure you backup your site just in case.
