Quick Start
Add your first location and get your store locator live.
Overview
This guide follows the same checklist shown on the app's own Dashboard when you first install, with a bit more detail at each step.
Benefits
- Get your locator live with real data in a few minutes
- Avoid the most common setup miss (adding a location but never turning on the app embed)
- Understand what's optional (the in-theme block) versus what's automatic (the hosted page)
Where to Find It
Apps → BRIX: Store Locator & Maps (Dashboard)
How to Use
- From the Dashboard's setup guide, click Activate app embed to turn on the floating button in your theme editor, then Save.
- Click Add location to create your first location. Fill in at minimum a Name, Address, and City - see Adding & Editing a Location.
- (Optional) Click Open theme editor to add the Store Locator block to a page in your theme.
- Check the Dashboard's location stats to confirm your location shows as activated (Active status).
- Visit your Store Locator URL (shown on the Dashboard, with a Copy button) to see your live locator page.
Tip If you have more than a handful of locations, skip the manual form and use Bulk Import via CSV instead.
Available Settings
This page has no settings of its own - it's a guided checklist. See the linked feature pages for exact settings.
Best Practices
- Fill in working hours and contact info on your first location - customers rely on these in the results list and detail view.
- Add tags consistently from the start, so tag-based search stays useful as you add more locations.
- Check your storefront on both desktop and mobile after your first setup.
Notes
- Adding a location and enabling the app embed/block are two separate actions - saving a location does not automatically turn on the floating button.
Troubleshooting
I added a location but it's not showing on the storefront. Confirm the location's Status is Active, not Inactive - see Managing Locations.
The setup checklist on the Dashboard still shows steps as incomplete. The checklist revalidates automatically when you return to the tab - refresh the page after completing a step if it hasn't updated yet.
