== Installation ==

1. Upload the `storefindy-store-locator` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins screen.
3. Go to https://www.storefindy.com/ and sign up for a Storefindy account.
4. In Storefindy, go to **Account → API Access** and generate your API key.
5. In your WordPress dashboard, go to **Store Locator → Settings**, paste your API key, and click **Save**.
6. Create a locator under **Store Locator → Locators**.
7. Add your locations under **Store Locator → Locations**.
8. In the block editor, add the Store Locator block to any page or post using **Add Block → Store Locator**.
9. In the Classic Editor, Elementor, or any page-builder text widget, place the `[storefindy_locator id="6a62dc48ea08c051a7cb793e"]` shortcode on any page or post to display your interactive Store Locator. Your locator IDs — and a ready-to-copy shortcode for each — are listed under **Store Locator → How to Use**.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Is this a WordPress store locator plugin? =

Yes. Storefindy Store Locator lets you add a searchable store locator
and interactive store map to your WordPress website using the Store
Locator block or the `[storefindy_locator]` shortcode.

= Is there a shortcode? =

Yes: `[storefindy_locator id="YOUR_LOCATOR_ID"]`. It renders the same
store locator as the block, so it works in the Classic Editor,
Elementor, page-builder text widgets, and in theme templates via
`do_shortcode()`. Copy a ready-made shortcode for each of your locators
from **Store Locator → How to Use**.

= Can I add multiple store locations? =

Yes. You can create and manage multiple locations and organize them
with Storefindy locators.

= Can visitors search for nearby stores? =

Yes. Visitors can search by location and find nearby stores using the
interactive map and location listings.

= Does it require a Google Maps API key? =

No. Storefindy uses OpenStreetMap for its maps and does not require
a Google Maps API key.

= Can I create a store locator without Google Maps? =

Yes. Storefindy Store Locator uses OpenStreetMap and does not require
a Google Maps API key.
