What is MAPPY?
MAPPY creates a store locator page with an interactive map, using either Google Maps or OpenStreetMap (no API key needed), to help customers find nearby points of sale. It carries the Built for Shopify badge and shows a 4.9/5 rating on 378 reviews. It's developed by MAPPY, based in Hanoi, Vietnam, and launched in November 2020.
How does the app work on a Shopify store?
Merchants add locations one by one or in bulk via CSV, add tags to enable filtering, and customize the map design from several templates. Automatic IP-based location detection suggests the nearest stores, and a dealer registration form can be set up to grow the network. The app also tracks customer search records to identify high-potential areas.
Why choose MAPPY over another store locator app?
The choice between OpenStreetMap (no API cost) and Google Maps is a real plus for controlling costs depending on needs. The built-in dealer form makes it easy to build a distribution network directly from the app, without an external tool. Reviews consistently highlight fast support, including on complex requests like translating tags on a multilingual store, resolved within hours.
What are the 3 main features of the app?
- Choice of OpenStreetMap (no API) or Google Maps.
- Dealer registration form, with automated emails to grow the network.
- Customer search tracking, to spot high-potential areas.
