1. Add your locations
Choose the option that matches your starting point:
| What you have | Where to start |
|---|---|
| A few locations to enter by hand | Follow the steps below. |
| A CSV or Excel spreadsheet | Import your spreadsheet. |
| A Google Sheet you want to keep updating | Set up Google Sheets sync. Scheduled syncing starts on Pro. |
To add a location by hand:
- Open All locations.
- Select Add location.
- Enter the location name.
- Enter its full address.
- Select Create Location.
Check: Confirm that the location appears in All locations. If you imported a spreadsheet, wait for the import to finish before checking the list.
2. Connect a map provider
A map provider supplies the map and the place suggestions customers see while searching. Storepoint supports Mapbox and Google Maps.
Choose a provider in the Map Providers guide. Follow its setup instructions to connect your account.
The instructions explain how to get an API key, a code that connects Storepoint to your map provider account.
Check: Open Preview locator in your dashboard. Confirm that the map loads and your locations appear. Try a search near one of your locations.
3. Add your locator to your website
The embed code is the short piece of code that adds your locator to a website page.
- Open Install on your site in your dashboard.
- Copy the embed code.
- Follow the installation guide for your website platform.
Check: Open the published page on your website. Search near a location you added. Confirm that it appears in the results.
If something does not appear
| Problem | What to check |
|---|---|
| A location is missing from the dashboard | Check whether the import finished and whether the row has a name and address. |
| The map does not load in the preview | Review your map provider setup. |
| The preview works, but the website page does not | Check the code placement in your platform installation guide. |
