Let dealers and franchisees add their own locations

If your business runs through independent dealers, franchisees, or authorized retailers, keeping your locator up to date usually means someone on your team manually re-entering an address, hours, and a phone number a dealer already knows better than you do.

The Dealer Location Onboarding Form flips that around: generate one link, share it with your dealers, and they submit their own store details directly. Nothing goes live automatically — every submission sits in a review queue until your team approves it.

How it works

1. Generate a link from Dealer Submissions in your dashboard (or the Shopmaps Shopify app).
2. Share it with your dealers — email, a partner portal, wherever you'd normally send onboarding instructions.
3. Review and publish. Owners and Admins see every submission — name, address, hours, categories, social links — and can publish it straight to your locator, or reject it with a note back to the dealer.

Or skip the link entirely

The same form can be embedded directly on a page — your own site, or a Shopify theme via the "Shopmaps Dealer Form" block — so dealers never have to leave a page you control. It resizes itself to fit its content automatically, and you can set a button/checkbox color to match your brand, or let one specific placement override it.

Nothing gets lost

A plan change never strands a pending submission. If your team ever drops below the required plan, dealers just can't submit new locations until you're back on a qualifying one — whatever's already in the queue stays fully reviewable, so nobody's submission disappears because of a billing change.

Dealer submissions is available on the Starter plan and up. See pricing, or get started for free to try the rest of Shopmaps first.
