Locations & Store Locator

#Overview

The Locations & Store Locator plugin adds a store finder to your website that automatically detects where a visitor is located and shows them the nearest business location. It is well-suited for any business with multiple physical locations, including retail stores, spas, salons, restaurants, and food service establishments.

#What Customers See

When a customer visits your store locator page, the plugin uses their device location to identify which of your locations is closest to them. The nearest location is displayed first, along with relevant business information like address, hours, and photos.

#Getting Started

To enable the Store Locator plugin, navigate to Settings > Plugins in your admin panel, locate Store Locator, and click Install.

#Managing Your Locations

All locations are managed from your admin panel:

1. Go to Locations in the left menu of your admin panel
2. Click New Location to add a business address
3. For each location, you can enter:
   • Address — the physical street address
   • Operating hours — your opening and closing times for each day
   • Photos — a gallery of images for the location
   • Additional details — any other relevant business information
4. Click Save to publish the location

To update an existing location, find it in the Locations list and click on it to open the edit form.

#Requirements

This plugin requires a Google Maps API key to enable automatic location detection and map display. Your site administrator will need to configure the API key in the plugin settings before the store locator will work on your website.
