Pixel Sharing lets you share your TikTok Pixel with others involved with your business by linking it to multiple Ad Accounts or Business Center accounts. Otherwise, each account would need its own Pixel, and potentially result in slow page loading and scattered event data.
By sharing a single Pixel, you'll streamline all of your website's campaign efforts, and create consistency in your ads by configuring a single Pixel to your website to be shared across everyone in your business or with your partners.
Pixel Sharing can help you with:
​Ad Delivery: Share Pixel data and campaign learnings, so that new Ad Accounts can immediately begin using Pixel for campaigns.
​Audiences & Targeting: Create and build audiences together. Create a centralized hub for web events so that you can build consistent web traffic audience profiles.
​Reporting: Track all of your website activity in one place. Others can see all web events that occurred and were attributed to an ad.
Pixel sharing is available to the following managed and unmanaged accounts:
​Direct and Agency Business Center advertisers.
​Small Business Agency and Small Business Direct Business Center advertisers.
​Unmanaged regular Business Center advertisers (with conditions).
You'll need to transfer a Pixel to Business Center before sharing it with others. To do so:
​You'll need Admin access to a Business Center.
​For Non-agency clients: The Business Center you are going to use should have admin access to the Ad Account that owns the Pixel.
​For Agency partners: You can only transfer Pixel from Ad Accounts that were created from Business Center.
