What is the Facebook Pixel and How Does It Work?

There are many added capabilities having the Facebook pixel on your site will give you when creating ads, such as:
- Remarketing/retargeting
- Bidding on conversions (you will need 50 conversions in the last 7 days for this to work properly)

Why Set Up Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking in Google Analytics for WooCommerce?
It gives you a much better picture of which online marketing channels are performing, and which aren’t. The example below shows the acquisition report in analytics which will now have revenue data. It can allow you to see exactly which campaigns and channels drive sales.
What Are Data Layers?
A data layer is a JavaScript object that is used to pass information from your website to your Tag Manager container. You can then use that information to populate variables and activate triggers in your tag configurations.
The data layer connects your website with your Google Tag Manager container and will let you fire tags on certain special conditions. Each data layer contains a list of key-value pairs. A key-value pair is basically just two values, one of which is the key and the other is the value. For example when the order complete data layer fires one of its keys will be subtotal. The value for this key will be your transaction value, excluding tax and shipping.
You can then use this value in Google Tag Manager to populate the revenue in Google Analytics.
