Set the Position to where you want the locator (e.g., "main-content")
Under Show Title, select "Hide" if you don't want the title visible

Important: Text Filter Settings

Make sure your Joomla text filters allow script tags. Go to Content → Articles → Options → Text Filters and ensure your user group (Super Users) is set to "No Filtering".

Select "Only on the pages selected"
Choose your store locator page

You can also embed directly in a Joomla article:

Create a new article in Content → Articles → New
In the editor, switch to Source Code or HTML view
Paste your Storepoint embed code
Save the article

Code Getting Stripped?

If your code gets stripped when saving, go to Plugins → TinyMCE and remove "script" and "iframe" from the "Prohibited Elements" list.
