This is called retargeting or remarketing.

For retargeting the audience with Facebook Pixel, first, install the pixel code on your post-click landing page or each page that he/she wants to.

After adding this to your webpage, Facebook Pixel will help you to target the following three categories of potential buyers:

The people who click on your Facebook ad and then navigate to the post-click landing page but they leave without buying anything.

Then Facebook Pixel adds those people to the targeted audience list, and you can target them with your tailored Facebook ad. It will help in bringing back the user for buying. 

2. Users who navigate to the post-click landing page and sales page but fail to make the payment.

People who clicked on your Facebook ad and navigated to the landing page will, but failed to make payment will come in this category.

3. Users who completed their checkout page and headed towards the thank you page.

The Facebook Pixel works differently on your thank you page because people who buy from you must again visit your page and buy other things. Thus you need to target them too via a targeting list, and for that, you must create a new campaign to resell your products.
