StoreLo – Store Locator Widget

Description

StoreLo is the easy way to add a professional store locator to WordPress. Visitors can search, filter and find your stores, dealers, branches or pickup points on an interactive map — and you manage everything from one simple dashboard.

You add your locations and design your locator in the StoreLo dashboard, then connect it to WordPress with a single Locator ID. Place the locator on any page with the [storelo] shortcode or the StoreLo block.

Why StoreLo

• Looks like part of your site — match your brand colours, map style, markers and layout.
• Find stores fast — search bar, category filters, marker clustering, geolocation and distance sorting.
• One dashboard for everything — add and edit locations, opening hours, phone, website and more, without touching WordPress.
• Built-in analytics — see what your customers search for and where demand is.
• No code, no API key in WordPress — your Google Maps key lives in the dashboard. In WordPress you only paste one Locator ID.
• Shortcode and block — works in the block editor and in any page builder via the shortcode.

How it works

1. Create a free account at storelowidget.com.
2. Add your locations and customise the look in the dashboard.
3. Copy your Locator ID from the Embed page.
4. Paste it into StoreLo in your WordPress admin and save.
5. Add the [storelo] shortcode or the StoreLo block to any page.

Hosted service

StoreLo is a hosted store-locator service: your locations and design live in your StoreLo account, and this plugin connects your WordPress site to it. A free plan is available; paid plans add more locators and locations. See pricing.

Use cases

• Retail brand showing physical dealers and distributors
• Multi-location restaurant or hospitality chain
• Service-area business with multiple branches
• Specialty store directories (vegan, kid-friendly, etc.)

Shortcode

The basic shortcode:

[storelo]

Show a different locator on a specific page (overrides the default Locator ID):

[storelo id="your-other-locator-id"]

External services

This plugin connects to the following external services to display and configure your store locator.

StoreLo (storelowidget.com)

The hosted service that stores your locations and renders the locator. The widget script (https://storelowidget.com/widget.js) is loaded on pages where the locator is shown, and the locator’s data is served to the visitor’s browser by StoreLo. The plugin verifies your Locator ID from the admin screen by calling StoreLo at https://storelowidget.com/api/widget/validate.

• Data sent: your Locator ID (to load and verify the locator and count its locations); for visitors, the standard request data their browser sends when loading the widget script and your public location data.
• When: on every front-end page that renders the locator (widget script + location data), and when you enter, save or check a Locator ID on the StoreLo admin screen.
• Provider: Robin Wessels / StoreLo. See the Privacy Policy, Terms and Data Processing Agreement.

Google Maps Platform

The interactive map is rendered by Google Maps, using the Google Maps API key you configure in your StoreLo dashboard (not in WordPress).

• Data sent: the Google Maps API key and the map viewport coordinates; address strings only when a visitor searches.
• When: on every front-end page that renders the locator map, and as a visitor uses the search box.
• Provider: Google LLC. See Google Maps Platform Terms and Google Privacy Policy.
