Check-in Feature

150$

Category:

The Check-in feature allows members to share posts with their current location, letting others know where they are—similar to popular social platforms. When creating a post, members can select a location on the map and publish it directly to their feed.

To optimize performance and reduce costs, the system automatically converts the map view into a static image before displaying it in the home feed. This approach helps minimize Google Maps API calls while still providing a familiar check-in experience.

 

Key Benefits
  • Members can share their current location with posts
  • Familiar check-in experience for social interactions
  • Reduced Google Maps API usage and cost
  • Clean, lightweight map preview in the home feed

 

Key Details
  • Type: Custom development (not a standalone plugin)
  • Platform: Web only
  • Price: $150 (one-time fee)
  • Delivery Time: 2–3 business days
  • Compatibility: shaunSocial (web)

 

How It Works
  • Members select a location when creating a post
  • The system generates a static map image from the selected location
  • The static image is shown in the home feed instead of a live map
  • This significantly reduces Google Maps API requests
