Remove your existing developer-mode TikTok pixel from your commerce site - Make sure it is not being currently used by any active campaigns.
Return to the integration set-up and click “Create New” to create and install a new pixel.
Make sure the “Advanced Matching” feature is ON to improve the match rate between TikTok ad clicks and conversions that happen on your website.
