Where submissions are stored

Every form submission is stored as a Shopify metaobject of type form_submission on your store. This is the core architectural choice that makes StoreForms different from other form apps.

Why metaobjects

Metaobjects are first-class Shopify data, owned by your shop. That means:

  • No third-party database to worry about

  • No data export ritual before cancelling β€” submissions stay on your store

  • Accessible directly in the Shopify admin under Content β†’ Metaobjects β†’ Form Submission

  • Queryable via Shopify's standard GraphQL API by other apps

What each submission contains

  • The form reference (GID)

  • A JSON payload with every field's value

  • A timestamp

  • The source URL the form was submitted from

Viewing inside StoreForms

Open any form in the StoreForms admin and click Entries in the side menu for a table view with edit, delete, and CSV export.
