How do I build a dealer or stockist locator with filters?
In One Stop Store Locator & Maps, add each dealer, stockist or retailer as a location and give it tags, such as the product lines it carries or services like curbside pickup. The locator shows the tags as filters, and customers narrow the results to the dealers they need. Each location also has a Type, for example Showroom, Pickup Point/Locker or Service Center. Retailers that only sell online can be listed too: choose the type Online Store, and they appear after the physical results with a link to their website.
Steps
- In the app, open Home and choose Add location, or open an existing location.
- Under Details, type the Tags, separated by commas, for example curbside, wheelchair, parking.
- Under Status, pick the Type. For a retailer without a shop, choose Online Store and fill in Website. No address is needed.
- Under Logo and marker, you can add a Logo or photo, and turn on Own marker color to give this dealer its own Marker color or a Marker icon.
- Under Custom fields, choose Manage fields to add fields such as a dealer number. Turn on Show in list to show a field in the result list.
- Save the location.
- In Appearance, under Search and filters, Show tag filters turns the tag filters on or off.
- In Settings, under Results, set When multiple filters are selected to Match any selected filter or Match all selected filters.
What to watch out for
- Customers filter by tag and by open now, and can type in the filter box. They cannot filter by type or by custom field.
- Custom fields are defined once for the whole store and filled in per location.
- A location takes up to 20 tags.
