Overview

Store Locator can be customized to reflect the same branding and colour scheme as your store.

  • Language - Change the Store Locator language to match the tone of your store.
  • Styling - Customize the look and feel of your map with plain text, HTML, or custom CSS. With Custom CSS, you can change the font type, size, colour; add images; and change the whole tone of your Store Locator map page.
  • Initial Map Positioning  - Set the initial position and zoom level that the map will start from for your customers. Simply click + drag it to where you want it!
  • Information Formatting - Control what fields show in your address list, as well as the detailed view, for your stores. The Address section controls how the address will display on the left of the map, and the Detailed section will control how it displays in the popup on the map.
