Switch from Trustpilot to Eevy AI

Trustpilot is great for brand reputation — Eevy AI is built to make reviews convert on your Shopify store.

Estimated time: 25-40 minutes

Why Switch from Trustpilot?

Trustpilot is primarily a company review platform focused on brand trust and reputation. Their Shopify integration adds TrustBoxes that display your Trustpilot rating and reviews. While the Trustpilot badge carries brand recognition, the Shopify widgets are generic iframes with minimal customization and no product-level optimization.

Eevy AI is purpose-built for Shopify product pages. Instead of embedding a third-party trust badge, Eevy AI creates native review sections that are genetically optimized for your specific store. The layouts evolve based on your customers' behavior, testing different arrangements to maximize add-to-cart rates. Many stores keep Trustpilot for brand reputation while using Eevy AI for on-site conversion optimization.

Migration Steps

1

Export reviews from Trustpilot

Log into Trustpilot Business. Go to Get Reviews > Product Reviews or Service Reviews and export as CSV. Note: Trustpilot owns the review data and may restrict exports on some plans. Contact support if the export option is not visible.

2

Map service reviews to products

If you primarily have service/company reviews rather than product reviews, decide which reviews are relevant for product pages. Not all Trustpilot reviews will map cleanly to specific products.

3

Install Eevy AI

Install Eevy AI from the Shopify App Store.

4

Import applicable reviews

Upload your Trustpilot CSV in Eevy AI under Settings > Import Reviews. Product reviews map directly; service reviews can be imported as general testimonials.

5

Remove Trustpilot TrustBoxes

In your theme editor, remove any Trustpilot TrustBox widgets. Also remove the Trustpilot script tag from your theme.liquid or layout files.

6

Add Eevy AI sections

Place Eevy AI app blocks on product pages. The genetic algorithm begins generating and testing layout variations.

7

Evaluate Trustpilot subscription

Decide whether to keep Trustpilot for brand reputation (company page, Google Seller Ratings) while using Eevy AI for on-site product review optimization, or cancel entirely.

What You Keep

  • Review text and star ratings
  • Reviewer information
  • Product-level reviews (where available)

What Improves

  • Generic TrustBox iframes replaced by native Shopify review sections
