You’ll need a Google Maps API Key with the Places API enabled. This is essential for fetching the needed information.

Step 1: Get a Google Maps API Key

  1. Visit the Google Cloud Console.

  2. Create a new project (or select an existing one).

  3. Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials.


  4. Click + Create Credentials → select API key.

  5. Copy the generated key – you’ll use this to activate Mapstore.


    Step 2: Enable the Places API

    1. In the same Google Cloud project, go to APIs & Services > Library.

    2. Search for Places API.

    3. Click on Places API, then click Enable.


    Step 3: Add the key to Mapstore

    Once your API key is ready and configured, go to the Settings page in Mapstore, and add the key under "Google Maps API key".

    Step 4: Find the Google Place IDs

    Use the Place ID Finder or Place ID Finder for Google Maps extension to find the place ID of the location you want to fetch reviews and hours for.

    Step 5: Add the place ID

    When creating or editing a store in Mapstore, you'll find the Google Place ID field where you need to add in the ID for that location.


    If you're uploading stores using .csv files or are syncing through Google Sheets you can paste the ID into the designated column for a store.
