Product Description

The Store Locator extension allows sellers to have their customers locate physical stores/dealers with the help of Google Maps. Upon successful installation of the Store Locator extension, the link to the Store Locator page appears on the top navigation menu of the website. On the Magento back-end, the seller can add multiple physical stores one by one or through CSV file import through the Store Locator extension interface. The Geo-coordinates of the stores are automatically fetched based on the store address. On the website, the Store Locator extension provides multiple search fields for the customers to search for the stores/dealers near their location. They can also set a distance range limit to search for the stores nearby. For example, if they set the range as 5 miles, all stores within the selected range will appear in the list and on the Google map. Results will appear on the Google map as Markers as well as a list.  Clicking on the marker will display the details of the store. The Stores that appear as a search result will display the Store name, Address, Contact info, Store Open/Close time and day etc. Upon clicking the ‘Get Directions’ button, the customer would navigate to the store detail page where they can select the mode of travel to the store to estimate the time it would take to reach the store.

Account & Pricing
