How to Verify Existing TikTok Pixel Setup Method

Overview

Verifying the TikTok Pixel setup method is an important step in accurate tracking and data collection for your store. This verification helps you confirm whether the pixel is correctly implemented and aligned with the setup method you used, whether that’s Elevar, Shopify, or a custom solution.

By accessing an item that triggers the "View Content" event and expanding the relevant section in the Pixel Helper, you can the setup method. For example, if you see "Elevar" listed under the "View Content" section, it indicates that the pixel was set up using an Elevar process or the Elevar partner method. If the setup method is shown as "Shopify," it suggests that the pixel was configured directly through Shopify and you will need to create a new Pixel in order to complete the integration.
