You can obtain one from the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/google/maps-apis). You need to enable the following APIs: * Maps JavaScript API * Geocoding API You can configure the API key in two ways: 1. Through the Settings page (Stores > Settings) 2. By adding this to your wp-config.php: `define( 'PAZZEY_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY',' your-api-key-here' );` ## FAQ ### How do I embed the Store Locator? Use the new post type ‘Stores’ to enter the information about your store locations. Once all Store Locations are entered, type in [storelocator] in your Post or Page to embed it. ### Can I customize the size? Yes, you can specify width and height: [storelocator width=”800″ height=”600″] ### What do I enter for the Google Coordinates? No need to worry about that! Just save the new Store location and it will automatically populate using the Google Geocoding API. ### What if coordinates don’t populate? * Check that you have entered a valid Google Maps API key in Settings * Check the address you entered – it may have a misspelled street name * Ensure the State/Province, City and Country have been entered * If your address has a Suite or Apt number at the beginning, try typing it after the street address instead ### Can I style the Store Locator? Yes, you can override the styles in your theme’s CSS. The main container has the class `.pazzey-store-locator`. ### How do I bulk import stores? Go to Stores > Bulk Import in your WordPress admin. You can upload a CSV file with your store data. The CSV should include columns for: title, description, address, city, state, country, postal, lat, lng. You can either provide lat/lng coordinates, or provide address and city and the plugin will automatically geocode them using the Google Maps API. Download the sample CSV from the import page to see the expected format. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e609d7dfd72be6f42695af26afc0af84df67b701906aad422e556a465a685b99? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Limited options](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/limited-options-3/)󠁿 [watwebdev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/watwebdev/) February 8, 2017 Very limited options, no way to set location or zoom for map.
