The WordPress Store Locator is a powerful store locator plugin designed to help businesses with multiple points of sale connect their customers with the nearest physical stores. Developed by weLaunch, this add-on leverages the fact that almost 45% of revenue is generated in local stores, giving businesses the opportunity to display their locations directly on product pages or on dedicated dealer locator pages.
The plugin offers more than 10 different designs and more than 90 configuration options, allowing the locator to be adapted to the visual identity of any website. It integrates perfectly with WooCommerce, allowing the store locator to be displayed on each product page so customers can easily find where to buy physically. It can also be inserted on any page using the shortcode [wordpress_store_locator], ideal for creating dealer or point-of-sale pages.
Among its standout features is automatic geolocation via HTML5, which detects the visitor's position to show the nearest stores. The administrator can configure the default map position, map type, zoom level, distance unit, and default search radius. It is also possible to customize marker icons, the info window, the results list, and the search box, which supports autocomplete and saves the location in cookies to improve the user experience.
The plugin includes Excel (.xls) import and export functionality, making it easy to manage stores and locations in bulk. It also allows opening the locator in a modal window, customizing the loading screen with custom icons and colors, and deciding which data and calls to action (CTAs) are shown in each result. It is fully multilingual, making it suitable for international businesses.
With complete documentation and an intuitive interface, the WordPress Store Locator is the ideal solution for retail brands, restaurant chains, service companies with multiple branches, and any business that wants to increase local sales by connecting customers with their physical stores.
