# How to create the ShortPen Pixel

> Create a ShortPen Pixel to track conversions, connect domains, and link workspaces for accurate event analytics.

**Short answer:** Go to **Settings → Organization → Pixels → Create new Pixel**, name it, add the **Allowed domains**, choose which **workspaces** can use it, then **Save**.

## How to create a new ShortPen Pixel: Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Pixels tab">
    Go to **Settings → Organization → Pixels**, then select **Create new Pixel**.

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in pixel details">
    * **Pixel name**. Use a simple, unique label like “Main Website”, “Shopify Store”, or “LPs – Q4”. Good naming makes troubleshooting later easier.
    * **Allowed domains**. Enter the domain(s) where the Pixel will be installed. You can list multiple domains, separated by commas.

      Only events from these domains will be accepted

          <Tip>
            **Tip**: one Pixel per main domain keeps data tidy across projects/clients.
          </Tip>
    * **Connect to workspaces**. Choose **all workspaces** or pick specific ones. ******Each workspace can have only one Pixel connected at a time****** to avoid double tracking.

    ***
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. Your Pixel appears under **Settings → Organization → Pixels** with **Last activity** and **Created** timestamps.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What to do next (recommended)

* [**Install the Pixel**](/getting-started/install-shortpen-pixel) on your site/app.
* [Verify the Pixel](/event-tracking/shortpen-pixel/pixel-verification) is detected and receiving activity.
* [Define events](/key-concepts/events-and-conversions-overview) you want to measure.

You **don’t need the Pixel** to see basic click or QR scan counts.

The Pixel is only for **post-click events/conversions** (e.g., signups, purchases).

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I connect one Pixel to multiple workspaces">
    You can grant access to multiple workspaces, but each **workspace can only have one Pixel** connected at a time to prevent double-counting.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can a Pixel track across multiple domains">
    Yes. Add multiple **Allowed domains** during creation (or later via edit). Only those domains will generate valid events.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need the Pixel for basic click analytics">
    No. Link clicks and QR code scans are automatically tracked. The Pixel is required for **post-click events/conversions** (signups, purchases, etc.)
