How to install Navify

1. Install the app

Open Navify on the Shopify App Store and click Install. Shopify shows what the app can access; approve it and the app opens inside your admin, on Home.

The Free plan starts right away. To try Essential, choose it when the app asks for a plan: the first 14 days are free.

2. Create your categories

Go to Categories and tags. A category says what a place is, such as Store, Reseller or Clinic, and becomes a filter on the map. Every place needs one, so create at least one first.

3. Create tags (optional)

On the same screen, use New tag. A tag is a label for places of any category, such as Pickup or a seasonal promotion. It can have start and end dates, colors, a square icon, the categories it applies to and, on Essential, a promotion link.

4. Add your places

One at a time: go to Places and add a place. It needs a name, a category and at least a street, city or postal code. The address is located on the map in the background; reload after a few seconds.

From a spreadsheet: go to Import and export, use Download template, fill it in and send it back. Categories and tags must already exist with the same name. See Import places from a spreadsheet for every rule.

5. Check the location and publish

The map shows only places that are published and have a location. On the Places list:

Location	What it means	What to do
Exact	The address was found	Nothing
Approximate	The street was found, but not the number	Open the place, drag the pin to the door and use Mark as checked
No coordinates	Not located yet, or not found	Wait and reload, correct the address, or type the coordinates

To publish many places at once, select them and use Publish.

6. Add the blocks to your store

Go to Storefront and widgets. There is one tab per block; use any combination.

Full locator: under Your stores page, choose a page (or create one in Shopify), save, then use Add the locator to this page. The theme editor opens with the block added: click Save there, and add the page to your store’s menu.
Map on page: use Add to pages (or blog posts, or collections) and save in the theme editor.
Store near you (Essential): use Add to the product page, drag the block below the buy button and save.

Colors, fonts, list order, filters and what each card shows are set on this same screen, with a preview. The theme editor only positions the block. Details in Add the blocks to your theme.

7. Check your store

Open the store in a private window and check that the map shows your published places, that the filters and Use my location work, and that the page looks right at phone width.

Changed a place and the store still shows the old data? The map keeps answers for up to 5 minutes. Wait and reload.
