Your locations are managed in the Locations page of your dashboard. This guide helps you choose the right method and shows you how to manage locations.
Choose Your Method
Before diving in, pick the method that fits your workflow. Each method handles adding, editing, and deleting differently:
| Situation | Recommended Method |
|---|---|
| Adding or editing a few locations | Dashboard (Manual) |
| Initial setup with many locations | Import from Spreadsheet |
| You have a spreadsheet or an export from another system, in any column format | Import from Spreadsheet |
| A file lands on your desk every month or quarter | Import from Spreadsheet |
| Locations change often and you want updates to happen on their own | Google Sheets Sync |
| Team manages locations in a shared spreadsheet | Google Sheets Sync |
| Developers building custom integrations | Location Management API |
Methods at a Glance
Here's how each method works:
Dashboard (Manual)
Add, edit, and delete locations one at a time directly in your Storepoint dashboard. Best for small location counts or occasional updates.
How editing works: Click any location to open it, make changes, and save.
See detailed instructions below
Import from Spreadsheet
Upload any CSV or Excel file to add many locations at once, then match your columns to Storepoint fields. Great for initial setup, migrating from another system, or importing from distributor reports and other data sources.
How editing works: Your choice. A managed import saves your mapping and looks after those locations, so dropping in a newer file updates them for you: changed rows updated, new rows added, deleted rows removed. A Quick Import hands the rows over as ordinary locations you edit in the dashboard like any other.
Google Sheets Sync
Connect a Google Sheet and your locator keeps itself updated. Add, edit, or delete rows in your sheet and your locator follows on the schedule you choose.
How editing works: Edit in your Google Sheet. Storepoint syncs the changes.
Read the Google Sheets Sync Guide
Location Management API
For developers building custom integrations. Programmatically create, update, and delete locations.
Mix these freely. A managed import or sync looks after only the locations it brought in, so a distributor file, a Google Sheet, and the locations you added by hand all live on the same map without overwriting each other. Those locations are read-only in the dashboard, so you edit them in the file or sheet they came from. Everything else, including anything from a Quick Import, stays yours to edit and delete.
Adding & Editing in the Dashboard
For adding or editing a few locations at a time, the dashboard is the simplest option. Everything below happens on the Locations page.
Adding a New Location
Required: Name and Address
Optional: Phone, email, website, description, image, hours, social media links, tags, and custom fields
Click Create Location when you're done and your location will appear on your locator immediately.
Editing a Location
Click any location on the Locations page to open it. You can update all fields. A save button appears when you make changes.
Adjusting the Map Pin
The edit page shows a map with a draggable pin. If the automatic placement isn't quite right, drag the pin to the correct spot. You can also enter exact coordinates.
Adding an Image
When adding or editing a location, click the Upload Image area to upload an image from your computer. The image displays on the location in your locator.
To change or remove an uploaded image, hover over it for options.

Change Log
Available on Business plan
See a history of all changes to the location: what changed, when, and whether it was via dashboard, API, or Google Sheets sync.
Deleting a Location
On the edit page, click the three-dot menu in the top right and select Delete Location.
Finding Locations
Use the search box on the Locations page to find locations by name, address, description, or tags.
Exact phrase: Wrap your search in quotes (e.g., "New York") to match exact text only.
Filter by tag: Click any tag to filter by it. Add multiple tags to narrow results further.
Bulk Actions
On the Locations page, use checkboxes to select multiple locations.
Delete selected: Select locations, then click Delete selected in the bottom bar.
Delete all: Click the More button in the top right and select Delete All Locations.
Locations looked after by a managed import or sync return on its next update, so remove those rows from your file or sheet as well.
Export your locations first and you'll always have a copy to re-import.
Exporting Locations
On the Locations page, click the More button and select Export All Locations. This downloads a CSV with all your locations.
Use exports to back up your data, edit in a spreadsheet and re-import, or prepare for Google Sheets Sync.
Email us with a quick description of your setup and we'll point you to the easiest path.
