Store Locator

All Contributors

The Store Locator app fetches the Pickup point data in order to display address location for retail stores.

store-list store-detail

Configuration

  1. Install the Store Locator app in your VTEX account by running vtex install vtex.store-locator in your terminal.
  2. In your account's admin page, select Inventory & Shipping section and then access Settings.
  3. Type in the Google Geolocation API key and save your changes.
  4. Open your Store Theme app directory in your code editor.
  5. Add the Store Locator app as a peerDependency in the manifest.json file:
 "peerDependencies": {
+  "vtex.store-locator": "0.x"
 }

Once installed, the app will generate a new route called /stores for your store, listing the retail stores registered in the Pickup Points section (under the Inventory & Shipping module).

The new page already contains a default template with all blocks exported by the Store Locator app, meaning the /stores page is ready to be rendered and no further actions are required. However, you can customize the new page overwriting the template by creating a brand new one. To do so, check the Advanced configuration section below.

ℹ️ This app will also add a new entry to your store's /sitemap.xml file so that all your pickup points are available to search engines - make sure you already have the vtex.store-sitemap@2.x app installed in your VTEX account!

Advanced configuration

In order to define the Store Locator custom page UI, you must use the blocks exported by the vtex.store-locator app. Namely, they are:

Block name Description
store-list Renders a list of retail stores and a map with all their locations marked.
store-group Provides the Pickup Point data to other blocks exported by the app, such as the ones listed below.
store-name Renders the store name.
store-back-link Renders a link to return to the previous page.
store-map Renders a map with the retail store's location.
store-address Renders the store's address.
store-hours Renders the store's opening hours. This information comes by default from the Pickup Points configuration, but you can also define manually through the Store's theme
store-instructions Renders the desired instructions to access the retail store.
  1. Open your Store Theme app directory in your code editor.
  2. In the /store/blocks folder of your Store Theme app, create a new file called storelocator.json.
  3. Create a new store template in it called store.storelocator. In its blocks array, paste the default implementation stated below:
{
  "store.storelocator": {
    "blocks": ["flex-layout.row#title", "flex-layout.row#container"]
