Themify Store Locator

Description

Store Locator integrates the Google Maps API into WordPress, creating a custom post type to register store locations with address, phone, hours, and geocoded coordinates. Designed for those operating branch networks, distributors, or physical partners, it displays an interactive map with search by ZIP code and proximity radius, listing the addresses closest to the visitor via shortcode.

Main Features of Store Locator

• Custom post type for stores
  Each branch becomes a dedicated post with fields for address, contact, and opening hours.
• Automatic geocoding
  Converts the registered address into latitude and longitude coordinates using the Google Maps API.
• Search by ZIP code and radius
  Filters results by distance from the entered ZIP code, ordering from nearest to farthest.
• Customizable markers
  Replaces the default pin with custom icons to differentiate unit types on the map.
• Publishing shortcode
  Embeds the map and address list on any page, post, or widget area.

  The entire network of physical locations is managed within WordPress itself.
