Purchasing Zip Code Data for the Store Locator

Applies to Znode Storefront v4.4+

The Znode Storefront Store Locator uses reference data for the zip code, city, state, and area code. Since this data contains over 42,000 entries and changes fairly regularly it is best to purchase this information commercially.

You can purchase data that is compatible with the Znode Storefront from a company called ZIPCode Download at

  4. Go to the Store Locator link in the Admin and enter your store data.
  5. Thats it! Customers can now search for store locations using the Store Locator.
