Real widgetA real locator capture. This version suits a brand selling through retailers, where the shopper's real question is which nearby stockist carries the range they want. Open the full-size example to search it. Bramble & Co is an invented concept brand using sample data.
Built around the search
A BigCommerce store locator built around what a visitor is trying to do.
Distance is rarely the only question. Give someone enough to choose a useful location before they leave the page.
- 01
Search by what they came to buy.
Turn product ranges or retailer types into filters, so a nearby result is also one that stocks the thing being searched for.
- 02
Keep online sellers separate.
Physical stockists stay on the map while online options remain their own route rather than being mixed into the same list.
- 03
Change it without touching the theme.
The page keeps the same embed. Locations, filters, wording and styling all move from the Handled dashboard afterwards.
Search and discovery
A visitor finds the nearest useful location without scanning the whole list.
The locator opens, the visitor types a town or postcode, and results reorder by distance. Search, filters, labels and layout are settings you control, not fixed behaviour.
Start with the spreadsheet you already maintain. Import a CSV, review the locations, then keep the same embed as the list changes.

Search stage: Austin locations are filtered to repair shops, sorted by distance, and the nearest result offers directions.
Install on BigCommerce

Before you choose
Questions buyers ask about this setup.
- Do I need a plugin or an app for BigCommerce?
- No. Handled is a hosted locator you embed in a page. There is nothing to install into BigCommerce, nothing to keep updated, and nothing that can conflict with the rest of your site.
- Will my BigCommerce styles break the locator?
- No. The widget renders in an isolated root so page CSS and widget CSS cannot collide in either direction. You set its colours, type, spacing and corners in Handled so it still matches the surrounding storefront.
- Can visitors filter as well as search?
- Yes. Categories on your locations become customer-facing filters, alongside search by town or postcode and sorting by distance.
- Who pays for the map traffic?
- You connect your own Mapbox or Google Maps key and that provider bills usage directly. The Handled subscription covers the locator, location capacity and team seats.
