Listings – How to fill out location information in spreadsheets

How to fill out location information in spreadsheets


StoreID (Required)

A unique code (up to 36 characters) that PinMeTo uses to identify each location.


  • Allowed characters: letters, numbers, or symbols (e.g. #, -).
  • Facebook restriction: must be alphanumeric (A–Z, 0–9).


Pick a StoreID you will not need to change!


  • Once a StoreID is set, the only way to update it is by editing each listing on every network manually. This process is error‑prone and can cause sync failures!
  • Don’t work around it by creating a new location or changing the address—this creates duplicate listings and makes things worse.
  • If you must change a StoreID, please contact support for guidance.
