MapMigo (★★★★★ - Reviews )
We were approached late 2025 with the goal of building a revolutionary store locator app for the Shopify App Store. This was already a crowded niche, so initial discussions with the client centred around the fact that we both knew we needed something strong. What are other store locators missing about usability and great merchant experience?
We settled on a few key points. The first was the bulk import procedure. Stores often need to import large numbers of locations through spreadsheets, and competing apps struggle to make this a smooth process: either individual rows fail silently or whole imports fail without strong user feedback as to why. The process isn't guided step-by-step. In MapMigo, we solved this through a multi-stage import wizard that guides users every step of the way. A huge logic layer pushes rows through fuzzy validation and fixing that catches and resolves problems automatically. The rare issues that can't be resolved through this process are caught early and communicated clearly to the user at exactly the stage they occur.
The second issue we solved was API costs. As store locators require an external map API, costs can spiral for merchants if the app isn't well optimised. We spotted a fun engineering challenge here and we rose to it: what can we do in caching, batching and query optimisation to keep expensive API costs to a minimum? This was successful, and API costs are cheaper for MapMigo than any competitor.
Finally, a comprehensive suite of customisation and configuration tools allows merchants to tailor their store locator to their needs like never before.
