Having a Shopify maintenance page is crucial when your store is under construction, but you still want to show some information to your visitors. By default, Shopify has options to keep your store password-protected, and almost every Shopify theme has a password page. So, you can easily use the password page as your maintenance page or coming soon page.
Although it’s very easy to use the default page of your theme, you can get a very simple-looking page that may not be able to draw the attention of the visitors. As a result, you may not get the benefits from the maintenance page you desire.
