What is Maptera?

A quick overview of Maptera, what it does, and who it is for.

Last updated April 27, 2026

Maptera is a hosted store locator platform built for small and mid-sized businesses. It lets you publish a fast, customizable map of your physical locations on any website — without writing custom map code or paying enterprise prices.

What Maptera includes

A drag-and-drop dashboard for adding, editing, and organizing your store locations
CSV import for bulk adding hundreds or thousands of locations at once
Automatic geocoding (turning street addresses into map coordinates)
A responsive embeddable widget that drops into any website with a single line of code
A REST API for developers who want full control
Native integrations for Shopify, Wix, and other popular platforms

Who Maptera is for

Maptera is designed for businesses that have anywhere from one to several thousand physical locations and want a polished store finder without the cost of building one in-house. Common use cases include retail brands with retailer networks, restaurant chains, service-area businesses, dealer locators, healthcare providers, and franchises.

If you only have one location, Maptera works — but a simple Google Maps embed may be enough for your needs. Maptera shines when customers need to filter, search, or browse multiple locations.
