How to add our retargeting pixel to your website

Before you create your first retargeting campaign, you will need to add the Mantis pixel to your website to begin bucketing your website visitors for retargeting purposes.

To do this, simply log in to your Mantis buy-side account (or sign up for a new account), navigate to the Conversions page, then click on the Pixel Code tab at the top of the page to view each of the different implementation methods you can choose from.

Mantis has integrations with Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce making pixel implementation a breeze.

Not using one of these e-commerce providers? No problem! We provide all advertisers with a manual code snippet that can be used on any website.

Once you add the Mantis pixel to your website, navigate to the Top Pixel Fires tab (located at the top of the Conversions area) to verify the pixel is tracking users across the different pages on your website/store-front.

Now that you see pixel fire events showing, you are ready to create your first retargeting campaign to retarget your website visitors!
