How to Migrate Reviews from Judge.me to Eevy

2026-04-014 min read

Why This Matters

Migrating review apps feels risky because your reviews are one of your most valuable assets. Every review represents a customer who took the time to share their experience, and losing even a few reviews during migration means losing irreplaceable social proof. This fear of data loss keeps many store owners stuck on review apps that underperform, overprice, or lack features they need. The cost of staying on the wrong review app accumulates silently — in lower conversion rates, missing features, and optimization opportunities never realized.

The specific case for migrating from Judge.me to Eevy AI comes down to optimization. Judge.me is a solid basic review app, but it displays reviews in a static format. Eevy AI uses genetic algorithms to continuously test and evolve your review layouts, finding configurations that generate more revenue per visitor. The difference between a static review display and one that is actively optimized can be 10-30% in conversion rate — a gap that grows every day you delay migration.

A clean migration preserves everything: star ratings, review text, customer names, dates, photos, and videos. The process is designed to be zero-downtime — you import your reviews into Eevy AI before switching the active app, verify everything looks correct, and then swap. Your customers never see a product page without reviews.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Export your reviews from Judge.me

In your Judge.me dashboard, navigate to the export section and export all reviews as a CSV file. The export should include review text, star rating, reviewer name, reviewer email, product handle, date, photo URLs, and verified purchase status. Download the file and open it in a spreadsheet to verify the data is complete and properly formatted.

2

Install Eevy AI alongside Judge.me

Install Eevy AI from the Shopify App Store but do not enable the theme extension yet. This lets you import and configure everything before switching the visible review app. Running both apps simultaneously during migration ensures there is no gap in review coverage. Judge.me continues serving reviews while you prepare Eevy AI.

3

Import the Judge.me CSV into Eevy AI

Upload the exported CSV through Eevy AI's import interface. The platform automatically maps Judge.me's CSV format to its own fields. Verify the column mapping is correct — star rating, review text, product handle, reviewer name, and photo URLs should all be mapped. Start the import and wait for confirmation that all reviews were processed.

4

Verify imported reviews match the originals

Compare review counts, star ratings, and photo content between Judge.me and Eevy AI for your top ten products. Check that verified purchase badges carried over correctly. Open several individual reviews to confirm text content, dates, and customer names match. Fix any mapping issues before proceeding to the live switch.

5

Switch the active review app

Disable the Judge.me theme extension and enable the Eevy AI theme extension in your Shopify theme editor. This swaps the visible review app in a single action with zero downtime — one goes off, the other goes on. Verify the switch on your storefront immediately. Once confirmed, you can uninstall Judge.me or keep it installed as a backup temporarily.

Pro Tip

After migration, Eevy AI's genetic algorithm immediately starts testing different layouts for your imported reviews — you will see optimization data within the first few days of switching.
