By default, Loman Maintenance Mode intercepts every storefront URL and shows your maintenance page instead. The allowlist carves out exceptions: paths that keep working normally while everything else stays behind the page.
Typical uses:
- A lookbook or press page you want reachable before launch
- A wholesale enquiry form
- A landing page you are already driving ads to
/cartand/checkout, if you are selling to a small group during a soft launch
Add a path
- Open Loman Maintenance Mode in your Shopify admin.
- Go to the Settings tab.
- Under Allowlisted URLs, type the path into the URL Path field.
- Click Add URL.
Paths appear in a list below, each with a Remove button.
What to type
Enter the path only — the part after your domain — starting with a slash.
| Type this | Not this |
|---|---|
/collections/lookbook |
https://your-store.com/collections/lookbook |
/pages/wholesale |
your-store.myshopify.com/pages/wholesale |
/cart |
cart |
https:// or your store's hostname will not match anything, because the app compares against the path a visitor requested rather than the full URL. This is the most common mistake with the allowlist.
How matching works
A path is allowlisted along with everything beneath it. Adding /collections lets
through every collection page; adding /collections/lookbook lets through only that one
and its sub-paths.
So start specific. If you allowlist /pages to open one page, you have opened all of
them.
Assets and scripts
You do not need to allowlist images, stylesheets, or scripts your storefront loads. Those are served from Shopify’s CDN rather than from your storefront’s own paths, so they are never intercepted.
Removing a path
Click Remove next to it and confirm. The change takes effect immediately — the next visitor to that path sees your maintenance page again.
