Store Locator: [MAJOR UPDATE] Сustom markers, Additional images + 3 more features! 🔥

[Max]

Friends, we’ve got some exciting news for the Store Locator app!

The latest update brings a set of highly requested features that make your widget more flexible, interactive, and easier for visitors to explore.

What’s inside the update?

---

Custom markers for each location

You can now add custom markers for each location individually!

• A new Marker control appears on the Location Edit page.

• The marker management page includes a collection of custom markers, with one default marker that cannot be removed.

• If any location uses a custom marker, the list of locations in the configurator will display the corresponding marker icons, making it easy to see which pins are customized.

Multiple images for a single location

You can now upload additional photos for each location!

• When a location has multiple images, a counter icon appears in the location list.
• Images in the location popup are now clickable, opening a lightbox to browse all pictures.

This makes locations feel more engaging and gives visitors a better sense of the place

Add locations manually

Previously, you could only add locations available on Google Maps, and details were automatically pulled from Google.

Now you can also add locations manually, which is especially useful for businesses not listed on Google or for online locations:

Alphabetical sorting

The new Locations Order option on the Settings tab lets you control how locations are displayed in the widget:

• Custom order — manually arrange locations with drag & drop.
• By Location Name — automatically sorts locations alphabetically.

Alphabetical sorting makes it easier for both widget owners and visitors to quickly find the location they’re looking for.

Select location position on the map

We’ve added the Map Location setting, letting you control each pin individually:

• Auto — pin is positioned based on the address.
• Coordinates — set a custom latitude and longitude.
• Hidden — location is not displayed on the map.

This gives you full control over how each location appears visually.

Hi Max, before I’ve had all my markers set to a custom marker to match my company’s branding. Is it still possible to set all markers to a custom marker or do I need to do this for all of my stores (900+) separately?

[Max]

Hi there, @Xippe_Kahle

You’d like to use the same custom marker for all locations, right?

If so, please create this customer marker and our devs will gladly apply it to all locations

[Xippe_Kahle]

That would be great! It is currently the only available custom marker in our storefinder.

That being said, once a month I delete all stores and upload them again. This ensures all new stores get added and all stores which stopped selling our products are deleted. Is it possible the custom marker is set as the standard marker so it stays correct whenever I do a new upload of my stores?

[Max]

Unfortunately, if you reupload the locations, the custom markers assigned to them won’t be saved. This means they’ll need to be assigned again after each import.

Would this work for you and you’d like me to pass your request to our dev team?

[Xippe_Kahle]

Thanks for your reply, however this won’t work in my case. I’ll unfortunately have to stick with standard markers if this is the only option.

Please Add Google Business Profile integration so hours of operation can be included automatically!

Hi there, @user12910

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I totally get your point and agree that it would be a super helpful enehancement. Hopefully the devs will be able to consider this idea. We’ll keep you posted in this thread
