Today we’d like to describe a tool which is very useful for Magento merchants who run brick-and-mortar stores. With the help of Store Locator, you let customers find the nearest offline locations where they can purchase your products. Stores are displayed on a Google map, and you can even specify some additional data for each one. Also, don’t forget to check our Magento 2 Store Locator Extensions Comparison, where we compare Amasty’s Magento 2 store locator module with corresponding extensions from Aheadworks, Magestore, and M-Connect.

There are lots of various extensions of this kind (including free modules), but we think that the Amasty Store Locator stands out of the plethora of competitors due to two factors. First of all, it is easy to use. You don’t have to waste hours of time configuring each offline location. Furthermore, if you already have appropriate data, you can easily import it via CSV within a few clicks. If not, the manual creation of offline locations won’t take much time. The second reason we like the Amasty Store Locator Magento 2 module is its flexibility. There are lots of parameters to configure so that you can provide store visitors with all the necessary information about each brick-and-mortar store related to the ecommerce one. Due to the ability to create custom attributes, each location can be described as much as possible, and visitors get a perfect opportunity to filter out the selection rapidly discovering what they are looking for.
