What is a store locator?
A store locator is a tool or feature used by businesses to help customers find the nearest physical location of a store or business. It is often available on a company's website and allows users to enter their location information or use their device's GPS to find the closest store locations, hours of operation, and other information.
With Dukaan, you can add the details of your offline stores on a separate store page using the store locator plugin.
This is what the store locator will look like on your store.
Note: The store above has a dark theme, if you'd like to see a dark theme in action, check out our Oxford theme.
