A WooCommerce store locator for the places that stock you.

WooCommerce runs on WordPress, so the Handled Locator plugin adds a searchable locator to any page of your store with a block or shortcode. Show the retailers that stock your products, your own shops or your dealers.

Designed to match your WordPress site.

Style it yourself, or send us your site and we match it for you, free on every paid plan.

A real locator capture. This version is for brands that sell online through WooCommerce and also through shops, stockists or dealers customers can visit. Open the full-size example to search it. Bramble & Co is an invented concept brand using sample data.

What it does not do

It shows where to buy. It does not change checkout.

Handled Locator does not connect to WooCommerce orders, local pickup or per-store stock. If customers need to choose a pickup store at checkout or see inventory by store, a WooCommerce multi-store plugin is the right tool, and our WordPress plugin comparison names one.

  • Block and shortcode from the WordPress.org plugin.
  • Locations managed in Handled, not as WooCommerce products.
  • No checkout, pickup or stock integration.

Built around the search

A locator on your WooCommerce store.

Online shoppers who would rather buy in person need to find the nearest place that carries you. The locator answers that on the same site as your shop.

  1. 01

    Install it like any WordPress plugin.

    Install Handled Locator from WordPress.org, connect your Site ID, then add the block or [handled_locator] shortcode to a Where to buy or Stores page.

  2. 02

    Filter by what customers are looking for.

    Tag each location with the products, ranges or services it carries so shoppers can filter to the places that have what they want.

  3. 03

    Online stockists in the same place.

    List online retailers alongside physical ones, in their own tab, which stays available when a shopper finds nothing nearby.

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.

Claude and ChatGPT

Set it up by describing what you want.

Handled Locator runs an MCP server, so an AI assistant can operate it directly. Paste a list of addresses and they are geocoded and added, describe a design and the widget restyles, then ask for the embed code to paste here. Configuration changes are shown as a before-and-after first and only go live once you agree. Included on every plan, including the trial.

Before you choose

Questions buyers ask about this setup.

Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes, as a page on your WooCommerce site: the WordPress plugin adds the locator with a block or shortcode. It does not connect to WooCommerce orders, pickup or stock.
Can customers pick a store at checkout?
Not with Handled Locator. Store selection at checkout and per-store inventory need a WooCommerce multi-store plugin, which our WordPress plugin comparison covers.
Where are the locations stored?
In Handled, not as WordPress posts or WooCommerce products. You manage them in the dashboard, from a spreadsheet import or a Google Sheet sync.
Who pays for the map?
You connect your own Mapbox or Google Maps key, and that provider bills map usage directly. The Handled subscription covers the locator itself.
