Switch from Shopify Product Reviews to Eevy AI
Shopify Product Reviews got you started — now upgrade to AI-powered layouts that evolve to convert.
Why Switch from Shopify Product Reviews?
Shopify Product Reviews is the free, built-in option that many stores start with. It handles the basics: collect reviews, display star ratings, show review text. But it has not been significantly updated in years, offers minimal customization, no photo reviews, and no optimization of any kind.
Eevy AI is the natural upgrade path. Instead of a bare-bones review list, you get genetically optimized layout variations that adapt to how your customers actually behave. The migration is the simplest of any review app because Shopify Product Reviews uses a standard data format that imports cleanly.
Migration Steps
Export reviews from Shopify Product Reviews
In your Shopify admin, go to Apps > Product Reviews > Settings. Click "Export" to download a CSV file with all your reviews. The format is straightforward with ratings, titles, bodies, and product handles.
Install Eevy AI
Install Eevy AI from the Shopify App Store. The onboarding takes about two minutes.
Import your reviews
Upload the Shopify Product Reviews CSV in Eevy AI under Settings > Import Reviews. The standard Shopify format is fully supported with automatic field mapping.
Remove Product Reviews from your theme
In the theme editor, remove the Product Reviews widget and star rating snippets. Some older themes have Product Reviews code in product.liquid — check and remove any manual integrations.
