Odoo Just Made Migration Easier — with AI
If you’ve been thinking about switching to Odoo but held back by the idea of rebuilding your entire website from scratch, we get it. At Odoo Experience 2025, we discovered that importing the website can be hassle-free.
Until now, moving from platforms like Shopify, WordPress, or a custom CMS to Odoo meant redoing every page, uploading assets manually, and recreating product catalogs line by line. It was time-consuming. Costly. Risky.
But that just changed.
The Odoo AI website builder now lets you import an existing website automatically — including pages, layout, images, and even products. It’s available in Odoo 18.4+ and is already in use by enterprise teams to cut weeks off their migration timelines.
And at SmartTek Solutions, we’re already helping clients use it to switch faster — with zero downtime and no lost SEO value.
What the Odoo AI Website Can Do
Paste your URL → click Import → get a fully editable Odoo website that looks and feels like your current one.
Here’s what gets pulled in:
- ✅ Page content and layout, rebuilt using native Odoo blocks (fully responsive)
- ✅ Product data, including images, prices, descriptions, and variants (when metadata is available)
- ✅ Navigation & structure, including categories and page hierarchy
- ✅ Media assets, automatically organized in your Odoo backend
- ✅ URL structure, preserved where possible and matched to Odoo conventions
- ✅ SEO metadata, preserved or enhanced using Odoo’s native SEO tools
Want a full product catalog imported from Shopify? Easy.
Want to clone your landing pages into Odoo’s drag-and-drop editor? Done.
Want to test how your current site looks inside Odoo before committing? You can.
Why This Changes Everything
At SmartTek, we’ve handled countless Odoo migrations for e-commerce and service-based businesses. One of the top blockers? The pain of redoing an entire site manually.
With this tool, that pain is gone. You can:
- Cut initial migration time by 50–80%
- Retain your brand voice and design assets
- Avoid “blank canvas” delays with pre-filled content
- Hand off content editing to marketing or sales, not developers
Even better: once imported, your new Odoo AI website is instantly integrated with your backend: inventory, CRM, accounting, helpdesk, and more.
This isn’t just about rebuilding your website. It’s about connecting it to the rest of your business.
How It Works (Smart But Simple)
Under the hood, Odoo’s AI importer works in three stages:
- Detection: Parses your site’s structure: text, images, sections, links.
- Mapping: Matches those sections to Odoo-native blocks using AI models trained on thousands of page types.
- Generation: Fills those blocks with your real content, downloads your images, and even rewrites empty placeholders using generative AI for better readability.
What you get: a live, editable Odoo website that preserves your original structure but runs on Odoo’s clean, responsive, low-maintenance components.
This is not a messy scrape. It’s structured, smart, and designed for scale.
Use Cases We’ve Already Seen Work
- D2C brands on Shopify looking to consolidate backend operations into one system (Odoo);
- Course creators or agencies who want to switch from WordPress to Odoo without losing content;
- Startups with static landing pages that want to plug into Odoo’s CRM, sales, and email stack;
- Manufacturing or service SMBs who want to relaunch their brand on a modern, mobile-first Odoo website;
- Teams testing Odoo before committing to a full platform switch.
SmartTek’s Support: Go From Demo to Live in Days
Here’s how we support clients who want to use the Odoo AI website builder:
- Trial Import
We run a test import using your real URL into an Odoo 18.4+ sandbox. You get a working preview before making decisions. - Migration Planning
We audit your current site, product data, SEO metadata, redirects, and special layout needs. - Styling + Customization
We match your brand design and adjust the layout inside Odoo’s native blocks — fully mobile and editable. - Product Data Enrichment
We enhance imported products with additional attributes, filters, categories, and translations where needed. - SEO and Launch
We optimize slugs, titles, OG/meta, canonical URLs, and make sure your migration doesn’t break your search presence.
What About Limitations?
Let’s be real. It’s not magic.
- If your site has a very custom layout (like YouTube), the importer may not find a perfect match in Odoo blocks.
- If metadata is missing, product variants or attributes may not import automatically.
- The feature is for Odoo Enterprise — though SmartTek can help Community users with workarounds or upgrades.
But for 90% of sites, especially e-commerce, service, portfolio, or marketing, it’s a game-changer.

The Odoo AI website builder isn’t just about copying your old site into a new tool. It’s about helping your business move faster with a unified, modern platform.
