Shoppers cannot find where you are
Your store has physical locations, but an online shopper does not know which is nearest. Without a simple finder they have to dig through a contact page or call, and some just skip the visit.
- ✗ No single, searchable list of stores
- ✗ Shoppers cannot find the location nearest them
- ✗ Map finders need an API key and fees
- ✗ Store lists are hard to read on a phone
Lokilo shows every store in one place
- ✓ A searchable directory rendered by the [lokilo] shortcode
- ✓ Instant filtering by city, postcode and name
- ✓ Phone shown as a click-to-call link on mobile
- ✓ No external API and no map key
What you get in the free version
Everything you need to help shoppers find your physical stores.
Managed locations
Each store is its own post under WooCommerce: address, city, postcode, country, phone, email, opening hours and optional coordinates.
[lokilo] shortcode
Render a searchable, accessible store directory on any page.
Instant filtering
Filter by city, postcode or store name in the browser, no data leaves the page.
Clean card list
Locations are rendered server-side as a clean card list, with no layout shift.

Decide which details show on each card: address, opening hours and phone. The store name is always shown.

The phone renders as a tel: click-to-call link on mobile.
Accessible by design
An ARIA live region for result counts, keyboard support, focus-visible styles and screen-reader text.

Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. Lokilo registers as a WooCommerce submenu and requires WooCommerce to be active. Store locations are managed under WooCommerce > Store Locations. Without WooCommerce active, the plugin does not boot.
Does it show a map?
The free version renders a searchable list of cards, not a map, so it needs no map key or external service. You can still store latitude and longitude for each location. An interactive [locator_map] view on OpenStreetMap tiles is added by the paid Lokilo Pro add-on.
Do I need a map API key?
No. Lokilo does not connect to any external API and needs no key. It sends no HTTP requests and loads no third-party scripts, so your store data never leaves your site.
How does filtering work?
Filtering happens in the browser: typing a name, address, city, postcode or country shows and hides cards in place, with no network requests. The number of matching results is announced through an ARIA live region. You can turn the search box off in settings if you list only a few stores.
Does the list work without JavaScript?
Yes. Every location is rendered server-side, so the full list is visible even with JavaScript disabled. When JavaScript runs, it only adds live filtering in the search box. The stylesheet and script load only on the page where the shortcode is used.
Which fields does a store card show?
The store name is always shown. In settings you can enable address, opening hours and phone, and each field appears only when that location has a value. The phone renders as a tel: click-to-call link on mobile.
Can I override the markup?
Yes. Copy templates/locator-list.php from the plugin into your-theme/locator/locator-list.php and edit the theme copy. The plugin looks for the template in the active theme first, so your version survives updates.
How does Locator compare to WP Store Locator and Store Locator Plus?
Locator ships a fast, Core Web Vitals friendly store list with shortcode embed, instant filtering and selectable fields for free, then adds an interactive map and bulk import in the paid edition from €29/yr. WP Store Locator is free with a one-time $59 Pro, and Store Locator Plus is free with paid add-ons, both leading with map output by default. Pricing as of June 2026.
