This guide walks you through the three essential steps to create a working store locator: adding your locations, connecting a map provider, and embedding on your website.
1. Create Your Account
Start your free 7-day trial to get started. Once you sign up, you'll land in your dashboard where you can follow along with the steps below.
2. Add Your Locations
Let's start by adding some locations. Pick whichever method works best for you:
Add a few locations manually: Go to Manage Locations and click Add Location. For a faster option, use Quick Add to search for a business and auto-fill the details.
Import from a spreadsheet: If you have many locations, import them from a CSV or Excel file. This is the fastest way to populate your locator.
Keep locations in sync automatically: On Pro plan and above, you can connect a Google Sheet and any changes you make in the spreadsheet automatically update your locator.

Start with just one or two locations to test things out. You can add the rest later.
3. Set Up the Map Provider
Choose your preferred map provider to power your locator's map and search suggestions. Storepoint works with Mapbox or Google Maps. Both have generous free tiers that cover most users.
You'll create an account with your chosen provider, set up an API key, and paste it into Storepoint so your widget uses it for map and search requests. Mapbox has a simpler setup and higher free limits, while Google Maps offers the familiar interface you might already know.
For step-by-step instructions and best practices, see our Map Providers guide. Contact us if you have any questions.
4. Embed on Your Website
Once you have locations and a map provider configured, your locator is ready to go live.
Works on any website
Storepoint works on virtually any website: Shopify, Squarespace, Webflow, WordPress, Wix, custom-built sites, and many more. See our complete embedding guide for step-by-step instructions for your website.
You'll copy a small embed code from your dashboard and paste it onto your page. Every website builder handles this a little differently, but if your site lets you add content to a page, you can add Storepoint.
- Go to Embed in your dashboard
- Preview your locator to make sure it looks right
- Copy the embed code and paste it into your website
Once it's live, check it on your actual site. Your locator will pick up your site's fonts automatically. If anything looks off, contact us and we'll help sort it out.
