# Google Maps

Adding Google Maps API to an online store allows the merchant to use Google Map services such as Google Maps and the ability to record latitudes and longitudes on customer addresses.

The merchant will need to have enabled Google Maps before they can use certain features like local delivery.

2. Select the Store you want to enable Google Maps on
3. Click on Manage Store Settings underneath Settings
4. Navigate to Check Out and click on Google Maps
5. Enter the Google API key and then enable it
