Loman Age Verification has two plans. Billing runs through Shopify, so a charge appears on your regular Shopify invoice rather than as a separate bill.
| Free | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Price / month | $0 | $2.99 |
| Both gate designs | ● | ● |
| Live-preview editor | ● | ● |
| Logo, colors, and alignment | ● | ● |
| Minimum age per country, state, or province | ● | ● |
| Checkout enforcement | — | ● |
| URL allowlist | ● | ● |
| Reset verification passes | ● | ● |
| “Powered by Loman Age Verification” line on your gate | shown | removed |
That table is not an abbreviation. Two rows differ: checkout enforcement is on Standard only, and Standard takes the small “Powered by Loman Age Verification” line off the bottom of your age gate. Everything else is on both plans.
Why the gate itself is free
Because of what withholding it would mean. An age gate a merchant cannot switch on until they have paid is an age-restricted storefront served to everybody in the meantime — a gap with our name on it, on the one kind of product where a gap is the whole problem.
So the Free plan is not a crippled preview. It gates your store, it follows your age rules, and it costs nothing — indefinitely.
What it does not do is enforce at checkout, and that is worth stating plainly, because it is the thing most likely to be assumed. On Free, the gate is the whole check. Visitors are asked their age before they can browse, but checkout does not check that they answered: a cart that never passed your gate — because somebody dismissed it with browser tools, or opened a cart link directly — can still complete an order. The checkout rule that stops it is what Standard adds. See Checkout enforcement.
What Standard buys
Two things.
Checkout enforcement. A rule that runs on Shopify’s own servers and refuses any order whose cart has not passed your gate, or that ships somewhere your rules require a higher age than the visitor was asked for. It switches on shortly after you upgrade, as long as your gate is live, and follows the Show the age gate to visitors checkbox from then on. See Checkout enforcement.
No branding line. The “Powered by Loman Age Verification” line comes off your gate. The gate is the first thing every visitor to your store sees, every time they arrive on a new device, so a store that cares how it presents itself usually wants it gone.
The Remove our branding card on Home leads to the same upgrade — Standard is the only plan that removes the line — so it brings checkout enforcement with it.
Nothing else changes. Your designs, age rules, and allowlist work exactly as they did on Free.
What is not sold on either plan
Worth listing, so you are not looking for it:
- Gate completion analytics. Counting how many gates were shown, passed, and refused is the obvious next feature and it is not built. When it lands it will be announced; it is not quietly waiting behind a plan.
- A staff password. Every other app in this suite sells one, because they hide the whole store. A gate takes five seconds to answer, so there is nothing to sell a way past.
- Email capture, A/B testing, custom code. These belong to Coming Soon, which is a different app for a different job.
Changing plans
From Home → Your Plan → Change plan. You can move in either direction at any time.
Shopify handles the proration. Downgrading does not delete anything — your designs, age rules, and allowlist are untouched, and your gate keeps asking visitors exactly as it did. Two things change: checkout enforcement switches off, so a cart that never answered your gate can check out again, and the branding line comes back.
Stopping the charge
Moving to the Free plan stops the billing while keeping your gate and everything you set up — but not checkout enforcement, which is part of Standard. That is usually what people want, and it is reversible in one click.
Uninstalling also cancels the subscription, but it removes your gate from your storefront — which for this app means an age-restricted store with nothing in front of it. Move to Free rather than uninstalling unless you actually mean to stop gating.
Support
Support is the same on both plans: email
[email protected] with your .myshopify.com
domain and what you were trying to do. Most replies go out within one business day.
There is no priority support tier here. At $2.99 it would be a promise the price cannot carry, and a store whose gate has stopped working needs an answer regardless of which plan it is on.
