What is Stockist?
Stockist is a hosted store locator aimed at brands that sell through retailers. It installs on Shopify, WordPress, Magento, Volusion and most other platforms, and it is popular on the Shopify App Store, where it holds a 5.0 rating from more than 350 reviews. Reviewers consistently praise its easy setup and friendly support.
Plans are simple: Basic at $10 a month for 100 locations, Plus at $20 for 500 and Premium at $40 for 2,000, with about 20% off for annual billing and a 14-day trial. The number of display languages rises with the plan (one, two or four), heatmaps start on Plus, and larger location counts need a conversation with Stockist.
The main practical difference is mapping. Stockist asks you to supply your own Google Maps or Mapbox key, and usage beyond the provider's free tier is billed to you by Google or Mapbox. Store Locator Widgets includes ExpressMaps, our OpenStreetMap-based maps, on every plan with no key to create or secure, and you can still choose Google Maps or Mapbox if you prefer them.
If you have a few hundred retailers and want the simplest possible map, Stockist is a good choice. If you expect to grow past 2,000 locations, want retailers to keep their own listings up to date, or want reviews on your locations, Store Locator Widgets is built for that.
