Frequently asked

Good questions, good answers.

Everything merchants ask before installing SyncaMap: setup, wholesale channels like Faire and Airgoods, sync speed, and pricing.

Getting started

How does SyncaMap decide which orders become pins?

You set sync rules: filter by customer tag, order tag, sales channel, discount code, customer email domain, or order note. Only matching orders create pins, and you can review, edit, or hide any location manually.

How long does setup take?

Most stores go live in under 15 minutes. Install from the Shopify App Store, connect your orders, choose one sync rule, and drop the SyncaMap block onto your Find Us page.

Do I need a developer to install it?

No. SyncaMap ships as a native Shopify app and theme block. If you can drag a section in the Shopify theme editor, you can install it.

Who built SyncaMap?

The team at Rare Brew, a Shopify tea brand who built this for ourselves first and then shared it with other brands facing the same problem.

Sync and data

How fast is the sync from order to map pin?

Under a minute in typical conditions. Orders that match your sync rules are geocoded and added to the map as soon as they hit the qualifying state you chose (paid, fulfilled, or tagged).

What if the shipping address is a warehouse or a home?

You can exclude addresses by tag, ZIP, or manually. SyncaMap flags anything that looks residential so you can approve or hide it before it goes public.

Can I edit or hide a stockist after the pin drops?

Yes. Every pin is fully editable. You can rename it, change the address, add a website or photo, or hide it from the public map without deleting the underlying order.

What if I already have a spreadsheet of stockists?

Import a CSV in seconds. SyncaMap merges imports with sync results, so your legacy list and new auto-pins live side by side.

Wholesale channels

Does SyncaMap work with Faire orders?

Yes. If you route Faire orders into Shopify (which most brands do), SyncaMap can tag them and turn them into stockist pins automatically. See our Faire integration page for the full flow.

Does SyncaMap work with Airgoods, Bulletin, Abound, or Shopify Collective?

Yes, any wholesale channel that lands orders in your Shopify admin can drive pins. Use order tags or sales-channel filters to isolate that stream, then let SyncaMap take it from there.

What about wholesale customers I onboard by CSV or by email?

Import a CSV any time, or add a stockist manually in one click. Manual and imported pins live in the same admin as the auto-synced ones.

Can wholesale customers confirm their own listing?

Yes. Enable Customer Confirmation and SyncaMap emails your customer a link to review their pin. Great for making retailers feel like partners.

Map and storefront

Will it change my existing storefront theme?

No. SyncaMap ships as a native Shopify block you drop into any section. You can also embed it on a dedicated Find Us page, with no code required.

Which map provider do you use?

SyncaMap renders on MapLibre with unmetered map loads, so you don't need your own Mapbox or Google Maps account or API key. Pick from five built-in basemap presets, or bring your own MapLibre style on Wholesale Pro.

Is the map SEO-friendly?

Yes. Locations are rendered with server-side markup so search engines can crawl your stockists, and each pin can carry a website link back to the retailer.

Billing

How much does it cost?

There is a free plan to get started, plus paid tiers with higher location limits, analytics, and notifications. All paid plans include a free trial.

Can I switch plans or cancel?

Yes. Change or cancel any time from the Shopify Apps admin. Your existing pins and data stay in place if you downgrade.
