    I have 42 maps maps on this website now, and I manage many websites. Some of them use WP Store Locator and more will be in the near future. I need to be able to set up quotas with Google to limit costs. On https://wpstorelocator.co/document/create-google-api-keys/ you list the 6 APIs needed to get WP Store Locator running and on this page
    https://mapsplatformtransition.withgoogle.com/calculator Google lists the APIs they charge for. Can you tell us which of these Google APIs WP Store Locator uses, and do you have any tips for keeping costs down, or setting quotas? Hopefully this can help others as well.

    How to reduce the API calls is described here.

    It always uses the Geocoding API and Dynamic maps API, and could be based on the options used the directions, distance, streetview and autocomplete API.

    How to set budget alerts is described here.

    That looks great, thanks Tijmen. I’ll take a look at those in-depth!
