Please be sure to have your domain verified before moving on to this step, this is because a due to the introduction of iOS 14. Facebook requires that you verify your website domain before you can use a Pixel. This ensures that your data collection is associated to your domain and that noone else can send or inject data into your Facebook Pixel or hijack your Pixel.
