How to add a new store location?
The locations shown on your store locator are taken from the entries in your Google Sheet. Each row in the Google sheet is a location.
To add a new store location, access your LocateStore Dashboard. Click on Stores > Open Locator Sheet.
Add a New Row
Add the store details in a new row. You can add a Store name, Address and other details.
Sheet Columns
Every column in your Google Sheet refers to a piece of store information that you can add. Here are all the columns that are available:
| Column Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Store Name | Name of your store |
| Address | Address of your store |
| Region | Region of the country where your store is located |
| Country | Country of operation |
| Mobile | Phone number of your store |
| Email address of your store | |
| URL | Link to your store's website |
| Business Hours | Time of day when your store is open |
| Type | Category or genre your store belongs to |
| Coordinates | This will automatically be generated when you enter all your store details and update your Store Locator |
Automatic Update
Once you've added all the necessary information, you will see that the co-ordinates are auto-generated. Also, the Name row will change to green color when the co-ordinate generation is a success.
If it turns red, it means that co-ordinates were not generated for that store. This could be due to lack of enough address information. Any changes you make to the store information in the future will be automatically updated in your store locator instantly. Co-ordinates will also be regenerated if there is a change in the address information.
Check Your Store Locator
Once you added the information into Google Sheet, open your store locator, and see if a new location pin has been added to the map.
