TikTok Pixel

① Connect your GTM container

Paste your container ID to load it into this page. It only ever runs here.

Advanced: use a specific environment

TikTok's official Pixel template installs the base on all pages with your Pixel ID, then fires standard events like CompletePayment and SubmitForm.

You'll map a conversion off your purchase event, and optionally connect the Events API for server-side delivery.
