The Turbo theme includes a Map page section which is a great way to give your site a more local feel and helps build confidence in your brand as it makes it easy for your customers to find where you are located. The Map section is also helpful if you have a physical location as well, or just want to show what city you’re located in.
Thanks to the integration with Google Maps, customers can get directions to the location if you have a brick-and-mortar shop or office. If you’re online-only, the Map can still be a nice way to showcase your general location. Instead of using a specific street address, using a city name can be a great way to show your local pride and reinforce your credibility as a merchant.
The Map section also includes an optional integration with the Google Maps API. In order to make use of the Google Maps API, you will need to register for an API Key.
Follow Shopify's instructions on registering for a Google Maps API Key which can be found here. If you do not wish to register for an API key, the original map setting with the iframe will work as default.
