Understanding Upgrade Notices

If you see an upgrade notice on your live storefront where the product description should be, here's what's happening and how to fix it.

What Are Upgrade Notices?

Small messages that appear on your live storefront when a Product Description Layout block exceeds your plan's limits. They replace the formatted description with a notice.

3 Types of Upgrade Notices

1. Template Limit Exceeded

Message: "This template requires a plan upgrade" Cause: You have the app block on more templates than your plan allows. Fix:

Upgrade to a plan with more templates, OR
Remove the app block from extra templates

2. Block Limit Exceeded

Message: "Additional blocks require a plan upgrade" Cause: You have more app blocks per page than your plan allows. Fix:

Upgrade to a plan with more blocks per page, OR
Remove extra blocks from the template

3. Mode Restricted

Message: Falls back to Normal mode (no visible notice) Cause: Your block uses a display mode not available in your plan. Fix:

Upgrade to a plan that includes the mode, OR
Switch to a mode available in your plan

Important Notes

Upgrade notices are NOT visible in the Theme Editor — only on the live storefront
The Theme Editor always lets you configure any setting (enforcement is live-only)
Your settings are never lost — upgrading immediately restores full functionality
Notices are styled subtly and include a "tell the store owner" message

How to Check

Visit your product page in a regular browser (not the Theme Editor)
If you see a notice instead of your formatted description → check the Billing page
Upgrade or adjust your configuration to resolve

Prevention

Keep track of your plan's limits on the Dashboard (Block Status Table)
The dashboard shows alerts when limits are approaching
Consider the Enterprise plan for unlimited templates and blocks
