Enabling the app embed

The theme step that makes your maintenance page appear — and the Save button people miss.

Loman Maintenance Mode shows your page by adding an app embed to your published theme. Until the embed is switched on, the app has no way to intercept visitors and your storefront behaves as normal.

This step is unavoidable and it is the one people miss most often. Shopify requires it, and it lives in the theme editor rather than in the app.

Turn the embed on

1. In your Shopify admin, open Loman Maintenance Mode.
2. On the Home tab, find the Getting Started checklist and open the Enable app embed in theme step.
3. Click Open Theme Editor. Shopify opens your published theme with the app embed panel already showing.
4. Find Maintenance in the list and switch its toggle on.
5. Click Save in the top right of the theme editor.

Saving is a separate stepFlipping the toggle does not apply it. If you leave the theme editor without clicking Save, the embed stays off and your page will not appear. This is the single most common reason a correctly configured page does not show up.

Getting there without the checklist

If you have dismissed the onboarding checklist, you can reach the same place manually:

1. Go to Online Store → Themes.
2. On your published theme, click Customize.
3. In the left sidebar, click the App embeds icon (a jigsaw puzzle piece).
4. Toggle Maintenance on and click Save.

Checking it worked

Open your storefront in a private or incognito window. You should land on your maintenance page rather than your normal home page.

If you still see your storefront, work through My page isn’t showing.
