Installing Loman Age Verification

Add the app to your store, pick a plan, and get to the setup checklist.

Loman Age Verification installs from the Shopify App Store and is configured entirely from inside your Shopify admin afterwards. There is nothing to download and no code to paste into your theme.

Not listed yetThis app is not on the Shopify App Store yet. These docs describe the app as it is built; the install link will appear here when the listing is published. If you are testing it before then, we sent you the install link directly.

What it asks for

Shopify shows you the permissions before you confirm. The app requests two, and they are the whole list — Shopify words them in its own way on that screen, but this is what they are for:

The app asks to	Because
Read your themes	It needs to tell whether the app embed is switched on in your published theme, which is what the setup checklist reports
Write checkout validations	On the Standard plan, it creates the checkout rule that blocks an unverified cart, and keeps it in step with your age rules

It does not ask for your orders, your products, or your customers. It cannot read them, and it cannot write to them.

No order access, on purposeThe app deliberately does not request order access, which is why it cannot tidy up after itself on the order page — see Checkout enforcement for what each completed order carries instead.

Choosing a plan

There are two. Standard adds checkout enforcement, and takes one line of text off your gate.

Plan	Price	What you get
Free	$0/mo	Both gate designs, the editor, your age rules, and the URL allowlist
Standard	$2.99/mo	The same, plus checkout enforcement, and minus the “Powered by Loman Age Verification” line at the bottom of your gate

Free is a real plan, not a trial. It does not expire and it is not time-limited. What it does not include is checkout enforcement: on Free the gate is the whole check, so a cart that never answered it can still complete an order. You can move between the two at any time from Home → Your Plan → Change plan.

Why the free plan is a working gateThe free tier is deliberate rather than generous. An age gate a merchant cannot switch on until they have paid means an age-restricted storefront served to everybody in the meantime, and a trial that expires is a gate that expires.

Billing runs through Shopify, so a Standard charge appears on your regular Shopify invoice rather than as a separate bill. For the detail, see Plans and features.

Opening the app later

Once installed, the app lives in your Shopify admin under Apps, listed as Loman Age Verify — Shopify caps app names at 30 characters, so the pinned label is shorter than the full product name. Everything happens there, across three tabs: Home, Templates, and Settings.

What happens next

Installing does not put a gate in front of your storefront on its own. You still need to set your ages, publish a design, and turn on the theme app embed — and because Show the age gate to visitors starts ticked, the gate goes up as soon as a design is published and the embed is saved.

The app walks you through it: Setting up your age gate.
