Once you want clients to buy products in your offline stores, Prestashop Store Locator module will be a great solution.
The Google Maps based store locator is embedded right into your default Our Stores page. It locates all your shops to let users find the nearest one. Customers enter the item name in Search for products field and enjoy stores with this item in stock listed. Map locations are being displayed in a user-friendly sliding manner.
Import stores and products data from other eShops of yours in a CSV file. Configure database backup to be run automatically.
Log in to the admin panel, and navigate to Modules –> Front Office Features –> Store Locator -> Configure.
In the first line, select if you want user location to be detected automatically.
Next, select if Available in stores block should be displayed on product pages.
In the CSV import field, you can upload the CSV file with stores and products data you want to import from anywhere.
The file should have the following structure:
id_store;id_product
For example:
1;1
2;4
2;2
3;3
3;1
In the next two lines, select if you want to delete previously configured store locator info and backup files before import.
To add products to stores, go to Preferences -> Store Contacts.
In the Actions column in the corresponding store line, click Related products.
Select products on hand and save selection.
Our stores page looks like this:
With Search for products field left blank, the engine will display the nearest stores on the Google Maps according to the auto-detected or entered location and radius (which can be unlimited). List with all the nearest stores addresses and distances is below the map.
If the user enters the product name, only stores with this product in stock will be displayed on the Google Maps. Information on these shops is in the list below. The stores are sorted by distance.
If configured, all the product pages are enhanced with an extra Available in stores block. Information on all shops with this item on hand is being displayed there.
