Switch from Bazaarvoice to Eevy AI

Enterprise review infrastructure at enterprise prices — or focused Shopify optimization at a fraction of the cost.

Estimated time: 45-90 minutes

Why Switch from Bazaarvoice?

Bazaarvoice is the enterprise heavyweight of the UGC and reviews world, powering major retailers with syndication networks, Q&A, and sampling programs. For Shopify stores, however, Bazaarvoice often means paying enterprise prices for a fraction of the platform capabilities. The Shopify integration uses standard widgets that do not leverage most of Bazaarvoice's enterprise features.

Eevy AI is built specifically for Shopify and invests its entire capability into making review sections convert. Instead of paying enterprise rates for static Shopify widgets, you get genetic algorithm optimization that continuously evolves your review layouts. Stores migrating from Bazaarvoice typically save thousands per month while getting better on-site review performance.

Migration Steps

1

Request data export from Bazaarvoice

Contact your Bazaarvoice account manager or support team to request a full review data export. Bazaarvoice typically provides exports in CSV or XML format. Allow 1-2 weeks for enterprise accounts.

2

Process the export file

Bazaarvoice exports can be complex with nested data. Extract the core review fields: product ID, rating, review text, reviewer name, date, and any media URLs. Map product IDs to your Shopify product handles.

3

Install Eevy AI

Install Eevy AI from the Shopify App Store. The Shopify-native setup is straightforward compared to Bazaarvoice implementation.

4

Import reviews into Eevy AI

Upload the processed CSV in Eevy AI under Settings > Import Reviews. For complex Bazaarvoice exports, you may need to pre-format the CSV to match the expected import format.

5

Remove Bazaarvoice integration

Remove Bazaarvoice JavaScript tags, widget containers, and any custom integration code from your Shopify theme. Bazaarvoice implementations often include custom script injections in theme.liquid.

6

Deploy Eevy AI sections

Add Eevy AI app blocks to your product pages. The genetic algorithm starts running immediately, a stark contrast to Bazaarvoice implementation timelines.

7

Cancel Bazaarvoice contract

Review your Bazaarvoice contract terms — enterprise contracts often have notice periods. Cancel according to your agreement timeline.
