Pricing Locator

Yes. Locator 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.

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 Locator Pro add-on.

No. Locator 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. Every plugin, free and PRO, is licensed under the GPL. You are free to use, modify and self-host the code on your own sites, and a PRO purchase does not restrict those GPL freedoms. A PRO licence adds automatic updates and product support, not different rights to the code.

Yes. The free edition is a complete product on WordPress.org, not a time-limited trial, so you can run it indefinitely. It covers the core use case in full, and you upgrade to PRO only when your store needs the advanced features. There is no account or card required to use the free edition.

Each plan covers a set number of sites: a single site, five sites, or unlimited sites. The licence is tied to your account and determines how many sites receive automatic updates and support. If your store grows beyond your plan, you can upgrade to a larger site count at any time.

Yes. PRO purchases include a 30-day money-back guarantee unless a product page states otherwise. If the plugin is not the right fit, request a refund within 30 days through Freemius support or [email protected]. Refunds are returned to your original payment method.

Checkout is handled by Freemius, our Merchant of Record. Freemius processes the payment, applies the correct VAT for your country, issues the invoice, and manages renewals. If you have a valid EU VAT ID, you can enter it at checkout to apply the reverse-charge exemption.

PRO licences are annual and renew automatically while auto-renewal is enabled, so your updates and support continue without interruption. You can cancel future renewals at any time from your Freemius account before the renewal date. Cancelling stops future charges while your current term stays active until it ends.

An active PRO licence includes email support for installation, configuration and defects in our own plugins, on a best-effort basis with no guaranteed response time. Support does not cover custom development, theme customisation, or conflicts caused by third-party plugins. For the free edition, community help is available through WordPress.org and GitHub.

Yes. We recommend installing and fully testing any plugin on a local copy or a staging environment identical to production, with a current backup, before activating it on a live store. This lets you confirm compatibility with your theme and other plugins without risking your production site. Installing directly on production is at your own risk.
