Wordpress Store Locator - Storemapper
Supercharge your sales with our store locator plugin for WordPress.

There’s a reason millions of people use WordPress to manage their websites. As the most popular website platform in the world, WordPress gives you control over all of your brand and product content in just a few clicks. However, some more advanced features like adding a “Find a dealer” map or a store or product finder page aren’t included in the basic themes and templates.

If you’re a retailer or work with retailers to sell your products, this really isn’t a feature you can afford to skip. Even if your business primarily sells its products online, if you have your products in your own physical stores, or at partner retailers, detailers, and stockists, you can boost sales by letting customers know about all of their purchasing options.

The great news is that you don’t need to know how to code to add a beautiful, lightning-quick store locator to your WordPress site.

Here’s how easy it is to set up your store locator

 

Video Transcript: This is a quick walkthrough of the Storemapper for WordPress plugin, which will allow you to place a Storemapper.co, simple store locator app onto your WordPress website in one of three different ways. So in order to use the plugin, you need to sign up for a Storemapper.co account, have a WordPress installation, with the plugin installed and activated. Once you have those steps in place, head over to your settings page. Enter your account ID following the directions here. Save, and then you can use one of these three ways to add this to your website. The first is to insert into a post or pages in the store member button in the editor. So if we go to pages, open the front page here. In the editor, you’ll find this insert Storemapper shortcode button. Once you click that, you may enter an optional title – we’ll call this Storemapper widget. You may choose to wrap this in an H2 or some other kind of tag. For this example, I’ll use an H1. Click ok. This will insert this right where your cursor was. We click Update; view the homepage. You should see your content here. 

The second way is through a widget. So we’ll go to Appearance, Widgets. Find the Storemapper widget, click it, and we’ll add it to the footer two section. In this case, to click that, you can add an optional title. Save that. Return to your site and refresh. And if we view the footer two section, you should see that there. 

The third way is through a code snippet. We’re going to go into the 2017 theme and enter a code snippet here. I recommend using a child theme or some other method, but for the sake of demo, we’re going to do it directly here. So in PHP tags, recall WP underscore Storemapper content, you may give it an optional title. Call this my title, and we’re going to wrap it – let’s wrap it in an H3 this time. Once you save that and view your site again, you should also see that content, and that’s really all there is to it. Thanks for watching. 

Your store locator should be as customizable as your website

Customization and performance were probably big factors in why you went with a WordPress website — they’re easy to set up, and they have great SEO and speed ratings. If you love WordPress, you’ll love how easy to set up and customize your store locator plugin is, and your customers will love how fast it loads and how well it works.

We make it easy for you with:

  • One-click customizations for background, button, accent, and map pin colors.
  • Easily customize the map itself with a library of custom map themes to choose from whether you’re into black & white, or something a little more colorful.
  • Tons of step-by-step articles on how to customize everything.
  • One-on-one help from our customer happiness team.
