Change marker colors and icons on the map

Style the map markers to match your brand and differentiate categories.

Last updated April 27, 2026

Markers are how customers see your stores on the map. Branded markers make the locator feel polished and let you visually communicate categories.

Setting a global marker color

  1. 1
    Open Embed → Map Settings
    In the dashboard Embed page, scroll to Map Settings.
  2. 2
    Pick a color
    Use the color picker to set your primary marker color. The preview updates immediately.
  3. 3
    Save
    Save your customizations. Every store that does not have a category-specific color now uses the new color.

Per-category colors

Each category can have its own marker color. Stores in that category use the category color instead of the global color, which makes it easy for customers to visually scan for the type of store they want.

Custom marker icons (Pro and above)

On Pro and Advanced plans, you can upload custom SVG marker icons in place of the default pin shape. Useful if you have a strong brand mark.
