For anyone that stumbles across this in future…
The shortcode alone is not enough, you also need to specify where the information is stored by adding the post/page id number
[acf field="field_name" post_id="123"]
Set up a field group that displays only on one page, ‘shortcodes’ and make a note of the ‘shortcodes’ page id number. Add fields as needed and note their shortcodes.
You can then paste the shortcode above onto any page in a text module and it will pull the data and display it.
