Make the pixel Bidder optimizes on actually fire where your traffic lands
The Meta pixel is how Bidder knows an ad actually made money — it reports page views and conversions (purchases, trial starts) back to Meta, and Bidder optimizes on exactly those events.
If your ads land on Kitty funnels, stop here — you’re done. The pixel is wired into funnels automatically when they’re published — see What’s tracked by default for exactly which events fire. This guide is only for traffic that lands on your own website.
The pixel installed on your site must be the same pixel Bidder’s ad account uses as its default (Bidder tells you the ID during setup — it looks like a 15-digit number). A different pixel, or no pixel, means Bidder optimizes on silence: ads still run, but Meta can’t see who converts, and performance decays fast.
Go to facebook.com/events_manager2 and select your pixel under Data sources. (Meta now calls the container a dataset — the dataset ID is your pixel ID.)

Choose an install method
Under the pixel’s settings, pick Connect data → Web, then either:
Partner integration — Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Google Tag Manager and most site builders have one-click integrations. Use this when available.
Manual install — copy the base-code snippet into your site’s <head> on every page.
Events Manager → Connect a new data source → Web.
Manual install: copy the base code and paste it before on every page.

Add conversion events
Page views alone aren’t enough — Bidder optimizes on a conversion event (Purchase or StartTrial, whichever was chosen during setup). Partner integrations usually map these automatically; with a manual install, fire the event on your purchase/trial confirmation step.

Verify events fire
In Events Manager, open the Test events tab, enter your site URL, and complete a test conversion. You should see the event appear within seconds. The Meta Pixel Helper browser extension is also handy for spot checks.
The Test events tab — events from your site appear here within seconds.
Tell Bidder it’s done — it will confirm the account is wired end-to-end. Until real conversions flow, expect Meta to spend a learning-phase period exploring; that’s normal.
