Store Locator for Joomla

Custom HTML module. Sign up at app.storepoint.co/dashboard, copy your snippet from the Embed sidebar. In Joomla admin, go to Content > Site Modules, click New, pick Custom, paste the snippet into the Custom Output field, set a Position, assign it to a menu item. The locator renders next page load. Set Show Title: Hide so the module title doesn't appear above the map. Detailed Joomla walkthrough.

No, Joomla core doesn't ship one. The JED lists a few paid extensions but most lag behind LTS releases. Storepoint stays outside your Joomla install entirely, so Joomla 4 to 5 upgrades, PHP version bumps, and Joomla security patches don't affect the locator. The hosted store locator software handles search, filters, geocoding, and rendering on our infrastructure.

None of those. No JED package, no installer to run, nothing in Extensions > Manage. Joomla's built-in Custom HTML module is what you use to embed our snippet. From Joomla's perspective, the locator is plain HTML living inside a module. From your perspective, it's the full store locator software solution with brand matching, custom map markers, Google Sheets sync, search analytics, and multilingual labels.

Joomla's content filter strips embed scripts by default for non-Super Users. Two options to fix it. For module embeds: go to Content > Articles > Options > Text Filters and set Filter Type to No Filtering for Super Users only (other groups stay on the default safe filter). For article embeds: go to Extensions > Plugins > Editor - TinyMCE, open your editor profile, and remove script and iframe from the Prohibited Elements list. Detailed fix in our Joomla setup guide.

No, the same snippet works on both. The Custom HTML module exists unchanged in Joomla 4 and Joomla 5, so one Storepoint embed serves both versions. Sites in the middle of a phased migration can use the same locator across all instances. When Joomla 6 ships, the Custom HTML module is core enough that the same approach should carry over.

Yes, with brand matching to your template's typography and color palette. Visitors search by city or postcode, filter by product, service, or anything else you want to tag, and tap any pin for one-touch directions. The widget handles up to 200 pins on Starter, 2,000 on Pro, 10,000 on Business with marker clustering. Each listing carries hours, photos, contact info, and tappable Custom Field buttons (Book Now, View Menu, social icons like Instagram or LinkedIn). Custom plans for larger networks.

Yes. Every label, button, and search placeholder is translatable through the Storepoint dashboard. Joomla multilingual sites can either run a separate Custom HTML module per language association, or use one module with translated labels for the active language. Pairs cleanly with Joomla's Language Manager and the Falang or Nooku Files content translation extensions. Multilingual setup guide.

Add each entry as a location in the Storepoint dashboard. Tag by product line, service category, or distributor type, then turn the tags into filters. Assign the Custom HTML module to your stockist menu item. For territory-based dealer networks, use Spotlight (Business plan) to draw exclusive regions on the map: customers searching within a territory see only the assigned dealers. Common Joomla patterns: dealer locators for European manufacturers, multilingual provider directories, healthcare clinic finders.

Zero database queries. The Custom HTML module outputs static markup, and the locator loads asynchronously from our CDN after Joomla finishes rendering. No extra MySQL queries on each page request, nothing added to your Joomla cache, and TTFB stays unchanged. Articles, modules, and template all render at full speed.

Yes. Beyond what's covered above, Storepoint includes filters with multiple filter groups (filter by product, service, certification, brand, or anything else you want to tag), Custom Fields for per-location buttons (Book Now, Buy Online, View Menu, social links), custom map markers and themes (different markers by location type, product, or service), keyword search, GPS geolocation, opening hours with live open and closed status, multilingual labels, search analytics, territory rules, Google Sheets and CSV sync, full custom CSS for designers, and developer APIs. On Joomla specifically, that includes the Custom HTML module on every 4.x and 5.x template, plus multilingual extensions like Falang.
