Using URL Parameters in the Store Locator
Easily customize your RP Promap Store Locator by passing parameters directly through the page URL. This allows you to:
Apply preset filters
Link to a specific store
Start with a predefined search
Combine filters for advanced results
This is perfect for marketing campaigns, email links, landing pages, or directing customers to highly specific results.
1️⃣ Apply Specific Filters with tags
Use the tags parameter to filter locations based on categories or criteria you’ve already assigned in your RP Promap dashboard.
⚠️ Tags in the URL must exactly match the tags you’ve added to your locations.
Format
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?tags=tag-name
Examples
Show stores with vegan products
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?tags=vegan-products
Show bookstores and cafes
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?tags=bookstore,cafe
You can include multiple tags separated by commas.
💡 Pro Tip
As you apply filters inside the locator, the browser URL automatically updates. Simply copy the updated link to share the exact filtered results.
2️⃣ Share a Direct Link to One Specific Store with location
Each store in RP Promap has a unique ID. When a store is selected, the URL updates to include its ID.
Format
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?location=STORE_ID
Example
For a store with ID 123456789:
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?location=123456789
💡 Pro Tip
Click on a store inside the locator — the URL will auto-update with its ID. Copy and share that link to send customers directly to that specific location.
3️⃣ Start with a Predefined Search using locate
Use the locate parameter to automatically trigger a search for a city, region, or postal code when the page loads.
Format
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?locate=search-value
Examples
Start search in Paris
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?locate=paris
Search postal code 54321 in Los Angeles, USA
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?locate=54321,LA,USA
This helps guide visitors directly to relevant results without requiring manual input.
4️⃣ Combine Parameters for Advanced Links
You can combine parameters to create highly targeted links.
Format
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?tags=tag1,tag2&locate=city
Example
Show cafes in Paris offering vegan products
https://yourwebsite.com/your-locator-page?tags=vegan-products,cafe&locate=paris
This approach is ideal for:
Campaign-specific landing pages
Regional promotions
Partner-specific location links
Social media promotions
