Our new product locator configuration options are designed to enhance user experience and offer new customizations.
Users can now search using their geolocation, ZIP code, or city name. The autocomplete dropdown makes searching faster and ensures location name accuracy.
Use Mapbox studio to develop a custom map style.
You can now display the product list on the initial screen. Users are still required to enter a search location before selecting a product. On mobile, the product list will replace the background image.
You can now control the color and opacity of the tint applied to the background image.
You can now set the background color for the user location field and the product search bar to better coordinate with the backgroundColor and resultBackgroundColor.
You can now configure the locator to automatically request permission to access the user’s location. Users can still click the “use my location” target icon if this feature is disabled. Google Chrome requires websites to have valid SSL certificates for this feature to work.
When a user searches for a product in an area where it’s not available, you can now display a button with additional purchase options like “Buy Online.” The name of the button and the URL are customizable. This can be used with or without the “Notify Me” button.
The Order Delivery buttons are now persistent on the desktop version of the locator. Mobile users will only see the buttons on the initial screen given the limited space available.
