Events we send to your Meta Pixel

Once your Pixel ID is saved, your storefront sends these Meta Pixel standard events on its own — there is nothing else to set up.

EventSent when
ViewContentA customer opens a product, or browses a category listing
SearchA customer searches your store
AddToCartA product is added to the cart
InitiateCheckoutA customer starts checkout
PurchaseAn order is placed
CompleteRegistrationA customer creates an account

Purchase fires when the order is placed, whether or not it was paid online — an order over WhatsApp or cash on delivery counts the same as a card payment. Orders you create or edit yourself in Admin are not reported.

PaymentStatus

Because an order can be placed long before it is paid, your storefront also sends a custom event called PaymentStatus when the customer reaches a payment outcome. It carries a status property:

  • completed — the payment went through
  • pending — a transfer is still being confirmed

A failed payment sends nothing, since the customer can still retry. Both outcomes share one event name, so segment on the status property rather than looking for two events. PaymentStatus is in addition to Purchase, not instead of it — use Purchase for orders taken and PaymentStatus for money received.

Because it is a custom event, it will not appear in Meta's standard-event reports until you build an audience or a custom conversion on it.

Matching your catalog

Product IDs sent with these events are your catalog IDs — the variant ID when a product has variants, otherwise the product ID. That is what lets Meta resolve the whole funnel to one product, so make sure the IDs in your catalog feed match.
