Locations

Manage dealership branches once, reuse them across the site

Maintain every showroom in one place, address, phone, email, website, AutoScout24 seller IDs and opening hours per category, and let the plugin surface that information on vehicle pages, contact areas and reusable location blocks.

Locations admin overview

One central place to manage dealership branches

The Locations screen surfaces total branches, assigned seller IDs, hours categories and shortcode status at a glance, and lists every managed branch with its default flag, address and seller mapping.

New Location form

Add and edit location details

Each branch is captured as a structured record: name, full postal address, phone, email, website URL and the AutoScout24 seller IDs that belong to it. Opening-hours categories live alongside the same record.

Operational details

Opening hours and seller mapping

Two operational layers per branch keep the public site and the imported inventory in lock-step: hours organised by category and seller IDs that connect each location to its AutoScout24 stock.

Opening hours

Hours by category

Each branch can manage independent categories such as Sales or Service. Every category groups its own day and time rows, exactly as visitors should read them.

Seller ID mapping

Vehicles resolve to the right branch

Link one or more AutoScout24 seller IDs to a branch. Imported vehicles use that mapping to surface the matching contact card and opening hours on the frontend automatically.

When no seller ID matches, the default branch is used as a safe fallback.

Frontend output

How location data appears on the frontend

On vehicle pages the matched branch is rendered next to the contact form: a structured showroom card with address, phone and a Visit Location button, complemented by the opening-hours card for the same branch.

Centralised branch records, reused everywhere

Why Locations matter

Branch information lives in many places at once: vehicle pages, contact forms, footer blocks, dedicated showroom pages. Locations turn that scattered content into one structured record per branch, maintained once, reused with confidence.

Branch visibility

Every showroom or dealership branch is represented as a clear, ordered record with a default that stays in control.

Consistent contact details

Address, phone, email and website URL stay structured per branch, no duplicate data sprinkled across templates and pages.

Operational clarity

AutoScout24 seller IDs and opening-hours categories are mapped in one central place, so vehicles always resolve to the right branch.

Practical capabilities

The building blocks that turn dealership branches into structured records, mapped vehicles and clean frontend output.

Central location management

Add, edit, reorder and delete branches from one screen, with KPI tiles surfacing totals at a glance.

Reusable contact information

Phone, email, address and website URL stay in one structured record and appear consistently across the site.

Opening hours by category

Free-text day and time rows grouped by named categories such as Sales, Service or Spare Parts.

Seller-linked location records

Map one or more AutoScout24 seller IDs per branch so imported vehicles always resolve to the right showroom.

Cleaner vehicle detail pages

Branch contact and opening hours appear after the contact form on vehicle pages, with a default fallback for unmatched vehicles.

Branch-level dealership presence

Multi-location dealer groups present a unified brand while each branch keeps its own contact identity.

Reusable outputs

Place location blocks anywhere on the site

Two dedicated shortcodes render the location and hours blocks on any page. They resolve the branch from the current vehicle context, or from a post ID you provide.

Location box [as24ci_location_box]

Renders the branch contact card, name, address, phone and an optional Visit Location button when the website URL is configured.

Opening hours box [as24ci_hours_box]

Renders the opening-hours block grouped by category. Output is empty when the matched branch has no configured hours.

Both shortcodes accept an optional post_id attribute. When omitted, they use the current vehicle in the WordPress loop.
