The Store Locator app fetches the Pickup point data in order to display address location for retail stores.
Configuration
- Install the Store Locator app in your VTEX account by running
vtex install vtex.store-locator
in your terminal.
- In your account's admin page, select Inventory & Shipping section and then access Settings.
- Type in the Google Geolocation API key and save your changes.
- Open your Store Theme app directory in your code editor.
- Add the Store Locator app as a
peerDependency
in the manifest.json
file:
_10 "peerDependencies": {
_10+ "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.
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. |
- Open your Store Theme app directory in your code editor.
- In the
/store/blocks
folder of your Store Theme app, create a new file called storelocator.json
.
- Create a new store template in it called
store.storelocator
. In its blocks array, paste the default implementation stated below:
