If the pixel is <strong>firing multiple times per transaction<\/strong>, or if it&#8217;s placed on the wrong pages (e.g., firing on product page and  thank you page), Facebook might count a single purchase as multiple conversions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>How to Fix It:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Event Manager \u2192 Diagnostics<\/strong> in your Meta Ads account.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check for pixel errors or duplicate events.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure the Purchase event only fires on the final &#8220;Thank You&#8221; or &#8220;Order Confirmation&#8221; page.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/chromewebstore.google.com\/detail\/meta-pixel-helper\/fdgfkebogiimcoedlicjlajpkdmockpc\">Meta Pixel Helper<\/a><\/strong> Chrome extension to test your pixel events.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Pixel_and_Conversion_API_CAPI_Not_Set_Up_Correctly\"><\/span><strong>2.

However, if CAPI and Pixel both send the same event <em>without deduplication<\/em>, it results in <strong>duplicate purchase tracking<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\"><strong>How to Fix It:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Enable <strong>deduplication<\/strong> using the <strong>event_id<\/strong> parameter.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure both Pixel and CAPI use the <strong>same event_name and event_id<\/strong> for each purchase.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work with your developer or use platforms like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/easyinsights.ai\/\">EasyInsights<\/a><\/strong> that handle CAPI setup correctly.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reinstall both Pixel and CAPI if you\u2019re unsure, and follow the correct implementation steps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Duplicate_Firing_or_Misfiring_of_the_Pixel\"><\/span><strong>3.
