What information should each location include?

At minimum, use a consistent name, address and destination. Depending on the journey, opening hours, phone, services, accessibility details, directions and a location-specific link may also be useful.

Can Storepoint be used outside Shopify?

It can be embedded on different website platforms. The best implementation depends on where location data is maintained and how the site handles templates and scripts.

How do we choose between Storepoint and a custom locator?

Use a managed locator when the requirements match its data and interface model. Consider a custom build for live inventory, complex territories, account-specific results or unusual operational integrations.

Where Storepoint fits

Storepoint is a hosted store-locator product for brands that need customers to find physical stores, stockists, showrooms or service points. It provides the map and search experience without requiring the website team to build and maintain a mapping application from the ground up.

The data is the experience

A locator needs more than pins. We structure consistent names, addresses, coordinates, categories, opening details and destination links, then decide how customers should search or filter them. Mobile behaviour deserves particular attention because many visitors will use the locator while travelling. Clear results and usable directions matter more than decorative map styling.

Fit it into the wider site

The embedded locator should inherit the site’s spacing, typography and accessibility expectations. It also needs sensible loading behaviour so a third-party map does not unnecessarily delay the rest of the page. We define who owns location updates and how quickly changes must appear. If store availability comes from another operational system, that system should remain the source of truth rather than asking staff to maintain the same record twice.

Common use cases for Storepoint

We use Storepoint when a commerce or brand site needs a dedicated stockist or store finder with search, location details, mobile-friendly results and styling that can sit comfortably within the existing website.
