# Improved Branch Selector (Slide‑In) for Shoppers

The **branch selector slide‑in** (used when customers choose their preferred branch) has been upgraded to provide a smoother, more helpful experience. Enhancements include:

* **Distance markers** from the customer’s current location.
* **Display order based on distance**, so closer branches appear first.
* A clear **“View Details”** button for each branch.
* **Auto‑select closest branch** when possible.
* **Branch search** for quickly finding a specific branch.
* **Load more** functionality for long branch lists.

**Benefits for merchants**

* Shoppers can more easily choose the **most convenient branch**, improving satisfaction.
* Better accuracy for **stock, pricing and checkout** flows that depend on the selected branch.
* Reduced friction in the journey, which can support higher conversion and fewer support queries about “wrong branch” or stock issues.
