## What is a Pinterest Pixel Tag ID?

<Note>
  A **Pinterest Pixel Tag ID** is a unique identifier assigned to your Pinterest Pixel, which tracks user actions (like page views, add-to-cart, or purchases) on your website. It's what you use to connect your site activity with Pinterest Ads for measurement and optimization. The ID is a 13-digit number (for example, `2613000000000`).

      **Choose Manual Setup (if applicable)**

      * Click **Skip** in the bottom-right of the page to proceed with manual setup.

      * Pinterest will generate a **base tag code snippet** for you.

  <Step title="Copy the Pinterest Pixel Tag ID">
    Once created, your Pinterest tag will appear in **Tag manager** with a 13-digit Pixel Tag ID (for example, `2613000000000`).

    Copy the Pixel Tag ID — this is what you'll enter when configuring the Pinterest destination in your Upstack dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install the tag on your website">
    Paste the base tag code into the `<head>` section of every page on your website.

    Add **event codes** to track specific actions (for example, `AddToCart`, `Signup`, `Checkout`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the installation">
    Use the [Pinterest Tag Helper Chrome Extension](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pinterest-tag-helper) to confirm your tag is firing correctly on your website.

    You can also confirm event delivery in **Pinterest Business → Conversions → Pinterest tag**, where new events typically appear within a few minutes.
