Start with the location details
A map is only one part of a useful store locator. Customers also need a clear name, a complete address, opening hours, and a directions link. Review each location’s time zone and coordinates, especially when importing a spreadsheet of several locations.
Use tags when they answer a real question, such as whether a location is a stockist, outlet, or repair shop. A short list of meaningful filters is easier to use than a long list of internal labels.
Give it a real place in your store
Create a page for your locator, add the app block to that page’s theme template, and save the theme. Then add a navigation link so customers can find it. Saving the locations in the app does not, by itself, make the page accessible.
If a product page includes a Where to buy link, select the actual locator page in that block’s settings. Open the link from a product and confirm that it reaches the right page and keeps the intended product filter.
Test the journey, not just the settings
Search for a city or postcode that you know should return a location. Try the country and tag filters, open a directions link, and check the layout on a narrow screen. If you enable a map, confirm that individual markers appear in the correct place.
Use my location depends on the shopper allowing browser location access. The page should still offer a useful search and location list when permission is declined. A successful test ends with a customer finding a location and understanding how to get there.
