Overview

What is Store Directory?

Store Directory is an application that helps retail businesses build a professional store-locator page without writing any code. Instead of hiring a development team to build a map, you simply upload your store data, customize the look to match your brand, then share it or embed it into your website.

All store data is managed in one place: when you update something (add a new branch, change opening hours, replace a phone number...), the map you have already shared with customers updates along with it. You never have to edit the same thing in several places.

Store Directory is a good fit for:

• Retail chains, F&B and convenience stores that want customers to find the nearest branch.
• Dealers and distributors who need a map of points of sale to share.
• Service businesses (showrooms, service centres, ATMs / branch offices...) that want to show their network of locations.
• Anyone who needs to put a list of locations onto a visual map and share it.

What can you do?

• Upload and manage store data from Excel/CSV, Shapefile or Google Sheets — managed centrally, updated in one place.
• Customize the map: base map, data layers, icons, labels and legend, all to match your brand.
• Add, edit and delete stores directly on the map, including photos and opening hours for each location.
• Search & directions so customers can find and travel to the nearest store.
• Filter and view data by administrative area (province/district) or as a table.
• Publish, share & embed: make the map public through a link, or embed it into your website with an iframe.
• Measure results: track store views, direction clicks and what customers search for, so you know where to open next.

How does it work?

Building a store-locator page takes five main steps:

1. Prepare your data — arrange your store list (name, address, coordinates, phone...) in the right format.
2. Create a map — a three-step dialog: name it and choose/upload data → customize the appearance → confirm.
3. Refine it in the map editor — adjust icons, colours, labels and popup content to match your brand; change the base map; add other data layers if needed.
4. Publish & share — make the map public, then grab the link or embed code to send to your customers.
5. Track results — see which stores customers view, where they tap for directions, and what they search for without finding a match.

Once published, store-data edits take effect on the public version immediately; appearance changes need one republish.

A few basic concepts

Knowing these terms will make the rest of the documentation easier to follow:

Term	Meaning
Map	A store-locator page you build, made of data plus the way it is displayed.
Dataset	The source table holding your store list and their information.
Layer	A group of stores shown on the map with the same style (for example a "Stores" layer and a "Dealers" layer).
Store / Feature	A single point on the map.
Field (attribute)	One column of store information (for example Name, Address, Phone).
Basemap	The background layer underneath (street, light, dark).
