Choosing a Map Provider
Store Locator supports three map providers. Choose the one that works best for your store in Settings > Map Provider.
OpenStreetMap
The default option. No API key required and free to use. Works well for most stores. OpenStreetMap is a community-driven project funded by donations. If you find it useful, consider supporting them.
Google Maps
The most recognized mapping platform. Requires a Google Maps API key.
How to get your API key
Go to the Google Cloud Console
Create a new project or select an existing one
Enable the Maps JavaScript API and Geocoding API
Go to Credentials and create an API key
Copy the key and paste it in Settings > API Token
Restrict your API key to your store’s domain for security. In Google Cloud Console, go to Credentials, click your key, and add your domain under Website restrictions.
Mapbox
Modern maps with smooth animations. Requires a Mapbox access token.
How to get your access token
Create a free account at mapbox.com
Go to your Account page
Find your Default public token
Copy the token and paste it in Settings > API Token
Mapbox includes 50,000 free map loads per month.
Switching Providers
You can switch providers at any time in Settings > Map Provider. Your locations and settings are preserved when switching. If you switch to Google Maps or Mapbox, you’ll need to enter your API key before the map will display.
