Switch from Yotpo to Eevy AI

Stop overpaying for reviews that sit in static layouts. Migrate to AI-powered optimization that actually moves the needle on conversions.

Estimated time: 25-40 minutes

Why Switch from Yotpo?

Yotpo is an enterprise-grade platform with loyalty, SMS, subscriptions, and reviews bundled together. For many Shopify stores, that bundle means paying for features they never use while their review sections remain static templates. Yotpo pricing scales aggressively with order volume, and the free tier is severely limited.

Eevy AI takes a focused approach: make your review sections convert as well as possible using genetic algorithm optimization. Instead of spreading across five product lines, Eevy puts all its intelligence into evolving the layouts that display your social proof. Stores switching from Yotpo frequently cut their review app costs by 60-80% while seeing better conversion performance from the same reviews.

Migration Steps

1

Export reviews from Yotpo

Log in to your Yotpo dashboard at yotpo.com. Navigate to Reviews > Reviews Management. Click the export button to download all reviews as CSV. For large catalogs, Yotpo may email the file.

2

Request media export if needed

Yotpo-hosted review photos and videos require a separate media export. Contact Yotpo support or use their API (GET /v1/reviews with media fields) to retrieve photo URLs before cancelling your plan.

3

Install Eevy AI

Install Eevy AI from the Shopify App Store. The app requires only standard storefront permissions — no SMS or loyalty scopes needed.

4

Import your Yotpo reviews

In Eevy AI, go to Settings > Import Reviews and upload your Yotpo CSV. The importer handles Yotpo field mapping including custom form fields, verified status, and media attachments.

5

Remove Yotpo widgets from your theme

Open your Shopify theme editor and remove all Yotpo elements: review widgets, star ratings, Q&A sections, and any Yotpo script tags added to theme.liquid.

6

Deploy Eevy AI sections

Add Eevy AI app blocks to your product pages, collection pages, or homepage. Configure your optimization goals and let the genetic algorithm begin testing layout variations.

7

Cancel Yotpo subscription and uninstall

Cancel your Yotpo plan through their billing portal first, then uninstall the app from Shopify. Check that no residual Yotpo scripts remain in your theme code.

What You Keep

  • All review text and star ratings
  • Customer information and verified purchase status
  • Review photos and videos (with media export)
  • Custom form field responses
  • Product associations and timestamps

What Improves

  • Expensive bundled pricing replaced by focused review optimization
  • Static widget templates replaced by evolving layout populations
  • Manual A/B testing (enterprise only) replaced by automated genetic algorithms
  • Complex dashboard replaced by streamlined conversion-focused interface
