FAQ

WP Store Locator vs StoreRocket

Common questions about switching from WP Store Locator

For most use cases, yes. WP Store Locator is a capable free WordPress plugin, but it requires managing Google API keys, locks you into WordPress, and gates extras behind paid add-ons. StoreRocket works on any platform, handles geocoding, and includes themes, CSV import, and analytics (Pro and up), with a free trial to start.
On your free trial, no — it runs on StoreRocket's own map key with no setup.

With a self-hosted WordPress plugin, you set up and manage the full Google Cloud project, APIs, and billing yourself.
Absolutely. StoreRocket works on WordPress and every other platform. Just paste one line of embed code into any page or post. If you move from WordPress to Shopify or any other platform later, your store locator moves with you. No migration needed.
The base plugin is free, but it gates several features behind paid add-ons, and you still manage your own Google API keys. StoreRocket has transparent pricing with a free trial, and themes, CSV import, analytics, and more are built in.
Yes! Export your locations from WP Store Locator (via its CSV add-on or directly from your WordPress database), then import them into StoreRocket using our bulk import tool. Smart column mapping makes the process quick. Most migrations take under 30 minutes.
