1. Maps
Customize and control map features for your platform. These settings are critical for ensuring that address searches are accurate and that your delivery zones function correctly.
2. Google Maps
Key settings for integrating Google Maps into your project.
1. Use Google Maps Alternative
This setting allows you to toggle between Google Maps and the platform's default mapping alternative.
Yes: Google Maps is disabled, and the platform's default mapping alternative is used.
No: Google Maps remains the primary mapping provider for your project.
2. Google Maps API Key
This is the unique identifier required to authenticate Google Maps services on your platform.
Default Key: The pre-filled key only works on
*.orderingplus.comdomains.Custom Domain: If you are using a custom domain (e.g.,
www.yourstore.com), you must create and register your own API key at the Google Developers Console.Requirement: Ensure you have a valid billing account linked in Google Cloud to avoid "Development Purposes Only" watermarks.
3. Enable Country-Specific Address Search
Restricts the address search dropdown to show recommendations only within a selected country for more precise location searches.
Function: Enter the two-letter ISO country code (e.g., MX for Mexico, US for United States). This prevents customers from accidentally selecting addresses in other countries with similar street names.
4. Default Map Latitude & Longitude
Specify the default coordinates for your project map when no user address information is available.
Default Map Latitude: Set the north-south coordinate (e.g.,
23).Default Map Longitude: Set the east-west coordinate (e.g.,
-102).Usage: These coordinates determine the center point of the map when a user first opens your app or website.
5. Use Google Geocode for Custom Orders
Enable the Google Maps geocoding service to automatically find the coordinates for orders that have a text address but no specified valid location.
Yes: The system will attempt to "pin" the address on the map automatically using Google’s database.
No: Manual location selection or precise coordinates will be required.
