### **1\. Create Location Records**

-   In **Salesforce**, open the **StoreConnect app**.

-   Go to:

    -   **StoreConnect Navigation** → **Customers** → **Accounts**.

-   StoreConnect uses **Accounts** to represent store locations.

-   Click **New** to create your first **Location Account**.

-   Configure the location:

    -   **Name** → name of the location.

    -   Fill in the **Billing Address** (manually or by searching for it).

-   At the bottom of the record:

    -   Under **Location Finder**, check **Is Location** (turns this Account into a **Location Record**).

    -   Set **Display Name** → how it will appear on your site.

    -   Set **Location Path** → URL path for this location.

    -   Add **Phone Number**, **Email Address**, **Website**, and any additional info.

    -   For **Location Address Source**:

        -   Select **Billing** or **Shipping Address** (auto-populates latitude/longitude for Google Maps).

-   Click **Save**.

### **2\. Create a Location Group**

-   Go to:

    -   **Account Record** → **Additional Relationships** → **Location Groups**.

-   Click **New** to create a **Location Group**.

-   Configure the location group:

    -   **Name** → name of the group (e.g. *Steve’s Outlets*).

    -   Assign it to your **Store**.

    -   Set a **Path** → URL for the Location Group page.

    -   **Active** → check this.

-   Click **Save**.

-   The location is now tied to the Location Group.


---

### **3\. Add Remaining Locations**

-   Repeat **Step 1** to create additional **Location Accounts**.

-   For each new location:

    -   Go to **Additional Relationships** → link it to the **Location Group** you just created.

-   Example: All 5 stores in Steve’s Emporium can be tied to the same Location Group.


---

### **4\. Add a Location Finder Link to the Website Menu**

-   Go to:

    -   **StoreConnect Navigation** → **Configuration** → **Menus** → **All** **Menus**.

-   Open your **Main Menu**.

-   Click **New** to add a **Menu Item**.

-   Configure the menu item:

    -   **Name** → e.g. *Outlets*.

    -   **Identifier** → unique name used internally in StoreConnect.

    -   **Menu** → assign it to your **Main Menu**.

-   Under **Targets**:

    -   In the **URL field**, enter the **Location Group Path** (e.g. `/find-outlets`).

-   Click **Save**.


---

### **5\. Verify Location Finder Functionality**

-   Refresh your **Store website**.

-   The **Outlets** link should now appear in the header menu.

-   Click the link:

    -   You should see a **Location Finder** search screen.

    -   Options include searching by **Country**, **State**, **Postcode**.


---

### **6\. Optional Enhancement: Set Default View to Show All Locations**

-   Copy the URL of the page where **all locations** are displayed.

-   Go back to your **Menu Item** → edit it.

-   Paste this URL in the **Target URL field**.

-   Save it.

-   Now, clicking **Outlets** in the menu will by default show **all locations** without needing a search.


---

### **7\. Advanced Options (Optional)**

-   You can refine the Location Finder:

    -   Show **which Outlets carry specific Product Categories**.

    -   Show **which Outlets stock specific Products**.

    -   Use **Google Maps integration** (with a paid Google account):

        -   Show nearby stores to the website visitor.

        -   Display an **interactive map** of store locations.
