Why StoreLo
- Looks like part of your site — match your brand colours, map style, markers and layout.
- Find stores fast — search bar, category filters, marker clustering, geolocation and distance sorting.
- One dashboard for everything — add and edit locations, opening hours, phone, website and more, without touching WordPress.
- Built-in analytics — see what your customers search for and where demand is.
- No code, no API key in WordPress — your Google Maps key lives in the dashboard. In WordPress you only paste one Locator ID.
- Shortcode and block — works in the block editor and in any page builder via the shortcode.
- Create a free account at storelowidget.com.
- Add your locations and customise the look in the dashboard.
- Copy your Locator ID from the Embed page.

- Add the
[storelo]shortcode or the StoreLo block to any page.

- Dealer locator — brands routing buyers to dealers, resellers and distributors, filterable by product line
- Stockist map / where-to-buy page — products on other shops' shelves, with a webshop fallback when no stockist is nearby
- Branch finder — service businesses, restaurants and hospitality with multiple branches
- Specialty store directories (vegan, kid-friendly, etc.)

常见问题:
How do I add a store locator to WordPress?
Install this plugin, create a free StoreLo account, paste your Locator ID in the StoreLo admin screen, and place the [storelo] shortcode or the StoreLo block on a page. Your locations and design are managed in the hosted dashboard, so nothing heavy is added to WordPress itself.
Is there a free store locator for WordPress?
Yes. StoreLo's free plan covers 1 locator with up to 5 locations, with no time limit and no credit card. Paid plans add more locations and analytics; see pricing.
Can I use it as a dealer locator or stockist map?
Yes. Locations can be tagged with store types (dealer, stockist, webshop, and so on), each with its own colour and its own button, for example "Buy online" for webshops and "Get directions" for physical shops. Visitors can filter by type or product line, which is exactly what a dealer locator or where-to-buy page needs.
Do I need a StoreLo account?
Yes. StoreLo is a hosted store-locator service — you manage your locations and design in the StoreLo dashboard, and this plugin connects your site to it. There is a free plan to get started.
Do I need a Google Maps API key?
You add your Google Maps API key once in the StoreLo dashboard (per locator). You do not need to enter it in WordPress.
Where do I find my Locator ID?
In your dashboard, open the Embed page and copy the Locator ID. Paste it into the StoreLo screen in your WordPress admin.
Is my Locator ID secret?
No. It is a public identifier that appears in the page source wherever the locator is embedded — this is normal for any embeddable widget. To stop other websites from embedding your locator, use the domain-whitelisting option in your StoreLo dashboard.
Can I show different locators on different pages?
Yes. Set a default Locator ID in the admin, and override it per page with [storelo id="your-other-locator-id"] or the block's Locator ID field. To keep several Locator IDs handy, save them with labels under StoreLo in your admin — each saved locator gives you a short [storelo id="1"] shortcode that points to it, so you do not have to paste the raw Locator ID into your pages.
Does it work with the block editor and page builders?
Yes. Search for StoreLo in the block inserter, or drop the [storelo] shortcode into any page builder's shortcode/HTML block.
Does the locator show a "Powered by" link?
No. By default the plugin shows no "Powered by" link anywhere on your site. If you would like to support StoreLo, you can turn on an optional small credit link under StoreLo in your WordPress admin — it stays off unless you explicitly tick that box. It has no effect on functionality either way.
Does it work with caching plugins?
Yes. The locator and its data load in the visitor's browser from the StoreLo service, so cached pages still show live, up-to-date locations.
Is the plugin GDPR-compliant?
The plugin itself stores no personal visitor data in WordPress. The locator is rendered in the visitor's browser by the StoreLo service and Google Maps, which act as data processors. Reference StoreLo's Privacy Policy and Google's Privacy & Terms in your site's privacy policy.
更新日志:
- Listing update: clearer name, tags and description, plus new FAQ entries (adding a locator to WordPress, the free plan, dealer/stockist use). No functional change.
- Added screenshots to the WordPress.org listing and tidied the screenshot captions. No functional change.
- Added a "Your locators" list on the StoreLo admin screen: save multiple Locator IDs with a label, each with its own short shortcode like
[storelo id="1"]you can copy. The short reference points to your saved locator, so the raw Locator ID no longer has to appear in your page content. - Clarified the admin screen: "Default Locator ID" is for a single locator (the plain
[storelo]), while "Your locators" is for managing several. It is a convenience only — you still paste IDs from your dashboard and nothing is fetched automatically. - Added a small, dismissible review request on the StoreLo screen, shown only after you have used the plugin for a while. It is optional (a checkbox turns it off), never appears on your front-end, and offers no incentive of any kind.
- Hardening: the plugin no longer ships or uses a backend API key. Locator ID validation on the admin screen now runs through StoreLo (storelowidget.com) instead of querying the database directly. No change to how the locator looks or works on your site.
- The front-end "Powered by StoreLo" credit is now strictly opt-in: it is hidden by default and only appears if the site administrator enables it with a checkbox on the StoreLo admin screen.
- Added an optional, dismissible invitation on the StoreLo screen that lets you choose to show the credit and support the plugin for free. It never enables anything by itself and never reappears once dismissed.
- First public release: connect a StoreLo locator by ID,
[storelo]shortcode, StoreLo block, and live Locator ID validation on the admin screen.
