Uninstalling Loman Maintenance Mode

How to remove the app cleanly — and why moving to the Free plan is usually what you actually want.

You may not need to uninstallIf you are uninstalling to stop being charged, move to the Free plan instead — Home → Your Plan → Change plan. It costs nothing, it does not expire, and it keeps your templates, staff password, and allowlist exactly where they are for the next time you need to close the store. The only thing that comes back is the small "Powered by" line. See Plans and features.

Before you uninstall

Uninstalling cancels your subscription. Your designs and settings stay with us, so reinstalling brings them back. What does not come back is what Shopify asks us to delete a couple of days after you uninstall: the shopper data the app kept, such as signup addresses and visit records, and any password you set for your page. If you might come back soon, consider turning the page off instead — it keeps everything and costs nothing to reverse.

Turn the page off instead

1. Open Loman Maintenance Mode and go to Home.
2. Untick Show maintenance page to visitors.Your storefront is immediately public again, your setup is preserved, and you can tick the box to bring the page back at any time. On a paid plan you are still billed while the app is installed — moving to Free stops the charge and keeps everything else.

Uninstall

1. In your Shopify admin, go to Apps.
2. Find Loman Maintenance Mode and click the … menu.
3. Click Delete or Uninstall and confirm.

Shopify cancels the subscription at that point. You are not charged again.

Afterwards

Removing the app removes its access to your store, and the app embed stops doing anything — the theme editor may still list it, but with the app gone it renders nothing. There is no leftover code to strip out of theme.liquid and no 404 to clean up.

Very old installationsIf you installed this app before it moved to a theme app embed, an older version added an include line to your theme's theme.liquid file. Those installs were migrated, but if your storefront shows an error after uninstalling, email [email protected] and we will tell you exactly what to remove.

Reinstalling later

Install the app again and your shop is recognized, with your designs and settings where you left them, however long it has been. Set your page password again if you used one: it was deleted with the rest of the store’s personal data.

If your storefront is still closed after uninstalling

It should not be — removing the app stops it intercepting anything. If visitors still cannot reach your store, the cause is almost certainly Shopify’s own password page rather than this app:

Online Store → Preferences → Restrict store access — untick it and save. See Disabling Shopify’s password protection.
