⚠️ Important Notes

🔁 Form IDs Change in New Stores

When you import a form into a different Shopify store, the form will receive a new Form ID. This means:

• Any old embed codes will no longer work

• You must copy & use the new Form ID when embedding the form

• Replace old shortcodes, app blocks, and custom code references

This prevents ID conflicts and ensures forms work correctly on the new store.

🔐 Form content only (no submissions)

Importing a form brings over form structure, layout, fields, settings, but does NOT import past submissions.

---

🎨 Theme settings (App Blocks) not included

If you used app blocks or theme customizations on the old store, you’ll need to re-add the form to templates/pages in the new store.
