Switch from Sauce to Eevy AI

Your video UGC is valuable — let AI figure out the best way to display it instead of using static templates.

Estimated time: 20-30 minutes

Why Switch from Sauce?

Sauce is a video-first UGC platform that helps brands collect and display customer video content on their Shopify stores. The video collection features are solid, and the content quality tends to be high. However, Sauce offers limited display format options and no conversion optimization — your videos are shown in the same layout regardless of whether that layout actually converts.

Eevy AI supports multiple UGC video display formats (story bubbles, carousels, inline players, grids) and tests them against each other using genetic algorithms. The same video content can perform dramatically differently depending on display format, thumbnail selection, and page placement. Eevy AI finds the combination that generates the most revenue per visitor.

Migration Steps

1

Export video content from Sauce

2

Export any associated review data

6

Add Eevy AI UGC video sections

Add Eevy AI video sections to your product pages. Choose from story bubbles, carousels, or grids — the genetic algorithm will test which converts best.

7

After confirming videos display correctly, cancel Sauce and uninstall from Shopify.
