- Use the Windows 'Snipping Tool' to screen capture 2:1 rectangle portion of the map (min 300px x 150px), centering the map PIN showing the store's location
- Create a new folder on your computer with the name 'Content'
- Save the MAP image to the new 'Content' folder with a file name mapImage_StoreName_Date.png, eg:
- StoreName is the Company and suburb name of where the store is located (without any spaces). eg. For our Imagatec Cleveland site, it would be ImagatecCleveland)

Site Image
By using a Store image, you help to improve the visual appearance of your store's iOrder service, as well as provide your iOrder customers a visual reference of your physical store.
If you do not have a photo of your store, and you have already added your store to Google Maps, you may find a suitable image by looking through the photos that have been uploaded by your customers who have completed a Google review of your store.
To view images uploaded as part of a Google review:
- Visit Google Maps
- Search for your store by entering your store name
- When your store loads in Google Maps, scroll down to the photos:
Once you've decided on a suitable image to use as your Site image:
- Open the desired Store image in a photo editor on your computer
- Ensure the image has a width:height size ratio of 2:1 (min 300px x 150px)
- Save the MAP image to the new 'Content' folder with a file name siteImage_StoreName_Date.png, eg:
- StoreName is the Company and suburb name of where the store is located (without any spaces). eg. For our Imagatec Cleveland site, it would be ImagatecCleveland)
- Date is a reference to the creation date of the image in the format YYYYMMDD. eg. For the 5 November 2019 (or 5/11/2019), it would be 20191105)
