To set the location for your products, the plugin uses Google Maps services. So the first step is to insert the“Google Maps API Key”.
Access Google, go to https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/get-api-key, and click on “Get a key”.
After selecting the project, in the next step, you will obtain the key required by the plugin.
Copy and paste the key into YITH > Booking > Settings > General settings > “Google Maps API Key”
Now access the product, type in the name of the location you wish to select and you are done.
You can set 2 different API Keys for:
- Google Maps API Key
- Google Maps Geocode API Key
To set them correctly, you should create 2 different API Keys in Google Console:
1. The Google Maps API Key can be restricted through HTTP referrers.
2. The Google Maps Geocode API Key can be restricted through IP addresses.
