Storefront Widget Setup
Turn on the floating button and place the full locator inside your theme.
Overview
BRIX: Store Locator & Maps ships as a Shopify theme app extension with two pieces: an app embed that adds a floating Find a Store button to every page, and an app block, named Store Locator, that you can add to any page to show the full map-and-search experience inline. The app also gives you a ready-made hosted locator page automatically, with no theme changes required.
Benefits
- Get a working, linkable locator page immediately after install
- Add the floating button store-wide with one toggle
- Optionally embed the full locator directly inside your own theme page
Where to Find It
Online Store → Themes → Customize (on your live/published theme) → App embeds → BRIX: Store Locator & Maps (floating button)
Online Store → Themes → Customize → Add block → Store Locator (full locator)
Or use the shortcuts on the app's Dashboard - "Activate app embed" and "Add store locator block" jump straight into the right place in your theme editor.
How to Use
- Open your theme editor and go to App embeds.
- Turn on BRIX: Store Locator & Maps to show the floating button on every page, then click Save.
- To embed the full locator inside a specific page, open that page/section, click Add block, and choose Store Locator, then click Save.
- Configure the button's look under Find a Store Button, and the locator's look and behavior under Appearance.
- Share or link to your hosted locator page (shown on the Dashboard) if you don't want to add the block to a theme page at all.
Available Settings
| Piece | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BRIX: Store Locator & Maps | App embed | Store-wide on/off switch for the floating Find a Store button; no theme-editor settings of its own - configured entirely from Find a Store Button |
| Store Locator | App block | Renders the full map, search bar, filters, and results list on whichever page/section you add it to; no theme-editor settings of its own - configured entirely from Appearance |
| Hosted locator page | Automatic | A ready-to-use locator page, live as soon as you install; its URL is shown on the Dashboard |
Best Practices
- Turn on the app embed on your live/published theme, not just a draft.
- If you use multiple themes, repeat these steps on each one you publish.
- Decide whether you want the hosted page, an in-theme block, or both - most merchants only need one.
Notes
- Both the app embed and the app block currently have no theme-editor settings of their own - all configuration happens inside the app (Find a Store Button and Appearance).
- The Store Locator block currently renders on any page you add it to; there's no separate "which pages" targeting control today.
Troubleshooting
The floating button doesn't show up. Confirm the app embed is turned on and saved on your live theme.
The block I added shows a blank space. Confirm you have at least one Active location - see Managing Locations.
