Why Use the TikTok Pixel?
The TikTok Pixel integration allows you to track when users visit your storefront pages, helping you measure the effectiveness of your TikTok advertising campaigns and build targeted audiences in TikTok Ads Manager.
This helps you:
Measure the effectiveness of your TikTok ad campaigns
Optimize ad performance based on conversion data
Build retargeting audiences from your storefront visitors
Understand how users interact with your site after clicking a TikTok ad
📝 NOTE: The TikTok Pixel integration is only available for website tracking and does not track mobile app activity. Availability of the feature may depend on your current Uscreen plan.
Prerequisites
Before connecting TikTok to Uscreen, you'll need:
A TikTok for Business account
A TikTok Pixel created in TikTok Events Manager
If you don't already have a TikTok Pixel, follow the steps below to create one.
Step 1: Create a TikTok Pixel
Log in to TikTok Ads Manager
Navigate to Tools > Events Manager
Click Connect Data Source and select Web
Enter your website URL and click Next
Select Manual Setup and click Next
Select TikTok Pixel and click Next
Enter your Pixel Name
From the Install Base Code step, find and copy the Pixel ID
It is a string of alphanumeric characters (e.g., D7C4QAXXXXXXXX3ALA0)
Proceed to complete the wizard
💡 TIP: You only need the Pixel ID to connect to Uscreen. You do not need to copy or paste the full pixel code snippet since Uscreen handles the code injection automatically.
Step 2: Connect TikTok Pixel to Uscreen
Log in to your Uscreen Admin Area
Navigate to Settings > Integrations
Find the TikTok card and click Connect
Paste your TikTok Pixel ID into the field
Click Connect
ℹ️ INFO: That's all you need to do on the Uscreen side! The TikTok Pixel base code will be automatically added to all of your storefront pages. You don't need to add any code snippets manually.
What the TikTok Pixel Tracks
Once connected, the TikTok Pixel fires a PageView event (ttq.page()) on every storefront page load. This allows TikTok Ads Manager to:
Track when users from your TikTok ads visit your storefront
Build custom audiences based on website visitors
Measure the reach of your TikTok campaigns
📝 NOTE: This initial integration tracks PageView events only. Deeper funnel events (such as checkout initiation or purchase) are not included in this release. For more granular event tracking, consider using Google Tag Manager alongside the native TikTok Pixel, as GTM allows you to implement additional TikTok events via the TikTok tag template.

Verify Your Pixel Installation
To confirm that your TikTok Pixel is working correctly, use the TikTok Pixel Helper Chrome extension:
Go to the Chrome Web Store and search for TikTok Pixel Helper
Click Add to Chrome to install the extension
Navigate to your storefront in Google Chrome
Click the TikTok Pixel Helper icon in your browser toolbar
The extension should display your Pixel ID and show a PageView event firing
💡 TIP: If the extension doesn't show any activity, try disabling any ad blockers on your storefront domain, clearing your browser cache, or opening the page in an incognito window (make sure to enable the extension in incognito mode first).
You can also verify events in TikTok Ads Manager by going to Events Manager > selecting your Pixel > checking the Overview tab for recent activity.
📝 NOTE: Please be patient, as it may take some time for data to appear in TikTok Events Manager, especially if the pixel was recently connected.
