You'll need a Storepoint account to follow along. Start a free 7-day trial if you don't have one yet. Already in your dashboard? Skip straight to Step 1.
Three steps to your live store locator: locations, map provider, embed. Most setups take about 15 minutes. Stuck along the way? Email us and we typically respond within a few hours.
1. Add Your Locations
Open Manage Locations and add your stores, dealers, or service points. Three ways:
- Add one by one. Click Add Location and fill in the details. Quick Add lets you search for a business by name and auto-fills the address.
- Import a spreadsheet. Got 30 or 30,000 locations ready? Drag in a CSV or Excel file and Storepoint maps your columns automatically.
- Sync a Google Sheet. Connect a sheet on Pro and above so changes you make in the spreadsheet flow to your locator on their own.
Locations are in. They'll appear on the map automatically once you finish step 2.
2. Connect a Map Provider
~5 minutes including signup with the provider.
Storepoint uses Mapbox or Google Maps for the map and search suggestions. Both have generous free tiers.
Most stores use Mapbox: simpler signup, higher free limits. Already have a Google Maps account set up for something else? You can use that instead.
You'll create an account with the provider, generate an API key, and paste it into your Storepoint dashboard. The full step-by-step is in the Map Providers guide.
Map provider connected. Your locator can now run searches and load the map.
3. Embed on Your Website
~2 minutes. Copy snippet, paste on page, done.
- Open Embed in your dashboard
- Preview your locator to make sure it looks right
- Copy the embed code and paste it onto a page of your website
Storepoint works on virtually any website. We have step-by-step embed guides for every major platform if you need one (Shopify, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, and 30+ others).
It's live. Open your site and try a search.
Send us your website URL after you've embedded the locator. Our designers will match it to your fonts, colors, and layout. Free on every plan. [email protected]
When You're Ready to Refine
Your locator works out of the box. When you want to tune it:
- Brand colors and styling. Appearance settings for fonts, colors, and button styling.
- Custom map markers. Upload your own pins or use brand colors in Map Style & Markers.
- Filters and tags. Let visitors narrow results by product, service, or category. Filters & Tags reference.
- Search behavior. Default radius, distance units, and autocomplete tuning in Search & Map settings.
