How can I geocode Canadian store locations? How can I search based on a Canadian postal code? If Canadian addresses aren’t supported, how can I activate them after an import to at least search by name?

Any and every postal code in the world is supported. Do you have a Google MAPS JAVASCRIPT API key ?with geocoding API enabled?

Google requires every site using Google Maps to now have an API key with billing enabled. They have been announcing the requirement since the spring. We posted news feeds (since May of this year) and also documentation informing the users of SLP plugin that they would need to obtain the key.

Required as of June 2018 all sites to have Google MAPS API key and Geocoding API enabled

P.S. Additional information in Google Support concerning errors you may see on your site if you do not have Google Geocoding API keys etc.
