Beverage Finder by Taps + Tables

Description

Beverage Finder helps breweries, wineries, distilleries, and beverage distributors show customers which retailers carry their products.

Features

• Interactive Google Map with a sortable list of nearby locations
• CSV import (works with Encompass sales reports or the included template)
• Edit any location in the admin: name, address, products, and coordinates
• Download all of your locations as a CSV
• Brand/product filter
• Visitor location via the browser’s built-in geolocation (no API needed)
• Custom map pin
• Location expiration based on last delivery date
• Unlimited locations
• Responsive and mobile friendly

How it works

Import a CSV that includes latitude and longitude for each location. Locations appear on the map immediately. Re-importing updates delivery dates and coordinates for existing retailer/brand combinations instead of creating duplicates.

Need coordinates for a large address list? You can look them up yourself on Google Maps, use any geocoding tool you like, or use the separate hosted service at beveragefinder.net, which exports a CSV you can import here. The plugin works fully without it and does not connect to it.

External Services

This plugin connects to the Google Maps Platform to display the map.

Google Maps JavaScript API (Google LLC)

• What it’s used for: rendering the interactive map, location markers, and the “your location” marker icon.
• When data is sent: every time a visitor views a page containing the [beverage_finder] shortcode.
• What is sent: your Maps API key, the page’s referring URL, the visitor’s IP address and browser details (as part of any request to Google), and the map coordinates being displayed.
• Terms of Service: https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

The visitor’s own location (if they allow it) is read by their browser and sent only to your WordPress site to sort results by distance.
