As you know, WordPress function do_shortcode() will render whatever shortcode contains and is frequently used in custom templates. But if you want to allow site owners to update shortcodes easily, without messing with template files (and possibly causing PHP errors and white screens of death), you will want to consider using Advanced Custom Fields.

In order to render the shortcode, you could do something like this (this goes into template files):

<?php $revslider_shortcode = get_field( 'revolution_slider_shortcode' ); echo do_shortcode($revslider_shortcode); ?> |
