With EmbedAny, you can embed MapQuest maps on any page of your Shopify store without any technical knowledge. Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps.
What You’ll Need

Step 3: Add the MapQuest Map to Your Store
- Navigate to the page in your Shopify admin where you want to add the map (product description, about page, contact page, etc.)

Tips for Using MapQuest Maps Effectively
- Choose an appropriate size for your map - it should be large enough to be useful but not overwhelm your page
- Add clear markers for important locations
- Consider adding a brief text description near the map to explain what customers are looking at
- Test your embedded map on both desktop and mobile to ensure it looks good on all devices
Adding MapQuest maps to your Shopify store helps customers better understand your location and services, potentially increasing foot traffic to physical locations or clarifying delivery options. With EmbedAny, what used to require a developer can now be done in seconds with just a pasted link!
