Add Store Locator to Your Shopify Store

With transforming eCommerce, online sales are gaining a lot of momentum. But the concept of in-store shopping will never fade away!

Millennials are certainly very savvy online customers, but they haven’t stopped visiting brick-and-mortar stores. In interviews conducted at one of America’s largest shopping malls confirmed that many members of the digital generation prefer visiting stores rather than shopping online.

Moreover, the International Council of Shopping Centres found that 61% of shoppers who bought items online and picked them up in-store, made an additional purchase on visiting the store. 

This number was higher amongst young shoppers, where three out of four millennials made impulsive purchases when visiting the store to collect their pre-ordered items.

All these facts take us to the conclusion that the omnichannel retail system is the way to keep moving eCommerce forward!

Having a store locator menu on your online store is the first step to enter the omnichannel retail system.

Before looking into how you can embed the store locator feature in your Shopify store, let’s understand the need to have one in a gist.
