Out of many, one of the most understated yet critical components of the above segments is adding/creating the correct store map in your Shopify store. Adding the right information and direction module for your store’s multiple locations and utilizing it to drive traffic ensures your store’s high-end compatibility.
This blog is a step-by-step guide on adding multiple maps to your Shopify store in these three magnificent ways quickly and efficiently.
So here we go with the three best ways of adding multiple stores in Shopify:
Three highly recommended ways to add multiple stores to your Shopify store!
You can include a Google Map to your ECommerce site on Shopify without any professional help with the following three different ways:
Embedded Google Map
Is there anything related to an application or website that Google is not related to or owns? Google Maps is easy and probably the default choice to embed a map view to your website. You can use this option in your Shopify store; believe me, it’s simple, like boiling a glass r bow of water. All you have to do is:
- Get to Google Maps and log in to your Google account.
- Search for your physical store location on the map.
- Activate the “Share” button (A sharing options box will open)
- Click/tick on the “embed a map” option.
- Select your mapping view size/dimensions and copy the source code.
- Redirect to your Shopify store and open the page’s HTML source code where you wish to add the map.
- Ctril+V you just copied into the HTML.
- Save and reload the page to check whether it uploaded correctly.
Using Google Map APIs:
Google Map API keys are the second most preferred option to add a Google Map to your Shopify store. But it could be a little complex mapping solution, requiring more than essential coding experience. Still, here are the steps:
To Get Your API Key
- Register for complete access to the Google Maps Platform and “Get Started.”
- Choose an active API compatible with the free themes map section (Maps, Routes, and Places products).
- Click on the “Continue” button.
- Either create a project from scratch or select an existing one.
- After agreeing to the terms and conditions, click “Next.”
- Create/open a billing account.
- After enabling your account, copy your Google Maps API to your clipboard.
Now, let’s move to Add the Google maps API to Shopify:
- Open your Shopify Admin dashboard, and select Online Stores -> Themes.
- Search the appropriate page’s theme and click on “Customize.”
- Select “Add section.”
- Select a “Map.”
- Enter all the information of your multiple physical stores in for your map.
- Paste your Google Maps API key in the relevant field.
- Click on “Save.”
Using a Store Locator App:
A Store Locator App is an advanced tool that allows you to add map interfaces or information to any website comprehensively. It’s an easier option than any other preferred one. Also, it ensures accurate analysis and optimization to help customers find the exact location of a store.
