Adding Online Retailers
Many manufacturers sell their products through online retailers and want to list these retailers on their web-site's MapMyStores page. They can be returned based on some criterion and showing the logo of your choice, and including a link to the page of your choice. For example, you can set Amazon to always show up no matter the zip code, but gopuff to only show up in the 7 mile radius of the DCs/locations that carry your items.

Once enabled, to turn on the individual locations, follow these instructions.

- Perform an Audit - For Online Retailers, you are required to update which Products are sold by them so this can be accurately reflected. If your Online Retailers are being updated automatically from 3rd Party Distributor Reports, then you do not need to do this part as it should be kept up automatically (eg goPuff through UNFI).
