How search logic of store
locator
works:
- when you load page for the first time, all
stores which are present in the store
locator and available for the following
radius will be displayed. If you don't
fill in the address and press "Search",
stores for chosen radius and regarding the
customer address will be shown (in case if
customers allows to show his/her current
location).
- As it was mentioned in a previous point,
when you load page for the first time, all
stores will be displayed, but please note:
if the pagination is enabled, only part of
the stores will be displayed (depending on
settings which set in the admin
panel).
Search regarding zip code or
address
- If you search by zip code or by address,
in this way request will be sent to Google
Maps Server in order to receive the
accurate coordinates, which will be used
for our search in our database of stores.
That means, that we use these
coordinates and search results for
needed radius from Google Maps (which have
been chosen when you make a search
request), all coordinates which fell under
the a given radius are used to show
stores.
- When you first time load the page, you
will see all stores you have if you have
chosen the appropriate settings in Admin
panel (Stores Per Page in "NO") and if you
do not fill in search bar with needed
information (like country, city, state or
zip code).
- If you have chosen the specific country
and have filled in some info, as the
result, you will get stores within the
filled in data and specified radius
The results of displaying stores
depend on:
- the data which you need to enter into
search bar (country,city, state, zip
code)
- radius (May we remind you that radius is
one of the most important features of
Store Locator, most part of Store
Locator’s logic is based on radius. If you
do have small radius, not all stores can
be shown within this radius)
