Honestly, the store locator was my #1 reason to install Elfsight… but the 1000 location limit is a dealbreaker. At least offer the opportunity to charge more for each additional 1000 locations. $10 or $20 additional per 1000… but a hard stop limit. That won’t work.

Hi there @BWO and welcome to the Community :wave:

I completely understand your emotions and really sorry that this limit is a dealbreaker for you :pensive:

We see that it’s essential to upload more than 1000 locations in some cases, and we’ll try to think about this opportunity in the future.

Thank you for the feedback!

I too have a need for over 1,000 store location limit as my company have close to 4,000 locations. If there’s no immediate update on this then I need to move on and find anothe store location widget. Too bad as I really like what you done already on this.

I’m in agreement! I’ve looked at SO MANY store locator options (for those of us needing 1000+ locations) and I’m currently using Blipstar. Easy to use… BUT - I’d rather bring it all over to Elfsight if they simply increased the 1000 limit (or charged a bit more for each 1000 locations).

Hi there, guys @Zenshi_Sushi, @BWO :wave:

Thanks a ton for your help and interest in our app!

We understand how important this feature is for you, and I’m sorry the current limit is preventing you from having the best experience with the Store Locator. However, unfortunately, there’s no news to share at the moment :pensive:

We’re following a set roadmap for new features, so it can be challenging to fit in new ideas. When prioritizing requests, we have to balance between their complexity and demand. Right now, there are many other features with higher priority that our team is focused on.

I’d like to assure you that we see the value in increasing the location limit, but it’s hard to give a timeline or guarantee for this update this time. Hopefully, it’s something the team can look into in the future, and I’ll make sure to keep you posted if there’s any progress.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding!

I just wanted to check if there’s any update on the store locator limit. As it stands, if I have to use the Elfsight store locator, I’ll be forced to have three separate options: one for these XXXX states, another for these XXXX states, and one more for these XXXX states. It’s going to look unprofessional. I don’t see why increasing the limit from 1,000 to 3,000 or even 5,000 stores would be a big issue. It’s not like it’s a complex program change, it’s just adjusting a limit. Simply changing the “1” in 1,000 to a “5” (or higher) would result in much happier customers. Right now, you’re potentially losing customers by not allowing for a higher store limit. While we don’t own these stores, we do sell products in them, which is why we need a higher store limit. We sell in thousands of hardware stores across the US and Canada, and it’s important for me to be able to guide my customers to where they can find our products.

Hi there, @BWO :wave:

Thank you so much for the feedback!

Much as I’d love to share an update, unfortunately, we haven’t got any news yet.

You see, the current 1000 locations limit is the optimal value that allows to keep the high performance of the widget. Increasing the limit to 3,000 or 5,000 locations might significantly affect its performance right now.

While we’re not able to increase the limit just yet, we do have plans to test how the widget performs with a larger number of locations. We’ll be sure to keep you updated if anything changes :slightly_smiling_face:
