    • PP Long Description Limit removes the length restriction from the product long description field in the new PrestaShop 8 and 9 form. The module allows you to enter substantially longer HTML content without the risk of it being cut off at form validation level.

    The administrator gains safe configuration, full Multistore support and no core modifications. The developer gets predictable behaviour based on a form hook and limit control aligned with the real column type in the database.

    Key benefits

    • Greater freedom when working with content: it allows you to create longer product descriptions without the frustrating form lock in Back Office.
    • Safe deployment: the module does not overwrite the core (no override) and does not perform automatic, risky database schema changes.
    • Full Multistore compatibility: the character limit can work in the context of a single shop, a selected group or all shops.
    • Better support for SEO content: it enables the publication of highly detailed descriptions, FAQ sections, technical parameters and long-tail content.
    • Predictable behaviour for developers: the module logic is 100% based on the product form hook and respects the real type of the description column.

    Module use cases

    The module works especially well in shops that sell assortments requiring a very detailed description: electronics, home furnishings, the industrial sector, machine parts, cosmetics, food supplements, premium fashion, and B2B shops with technical documentation.

    It is an excellent solution wherever the product description serves not only a sales purpose, but also an informational and SEO function. It performs particularly well in multilingual shops and wherever content teams publish long descriptions containing raw HTML, tables, instructions and expert sections.

    Features – Back Office

    1. Simple limit configuration

    The administrator can set a custom character limit for the long product description directly from the module panel.

    • A single configuration field for very fast deployment.
    • Range validation that prevents entering a value that exceeds the database capabilities.
    • Quick settings changes without involving a developer in day-to-day team work.

    2. Native Multistore support

    The module reads and writes settings precisely while preserving the shop context.

    • An independent limit for a selected shop or shop group.
    • Full compliance with the administrative context of PrestaShop.
    • High scalability for larger installations with different content requirements.

    3. Data safety control

    The solution continuously analyses the description column type and adjusts the maximum limit to the real technical capabilities.

    • A safety fallback that is triggered if the column is not of type MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT.
    • No risky ALTER TABLE queries during standard installation.
    • Predictable behaviour on production servers with more restrictive settings.

    4. Integration with the modern form

    The module works on the Symfony architecture used by the current Product Form in PrestaShop 8 and 9, eliminating legacy hacks.

    • Uses the actionProductFormBuilderModifier hook instead of modifying system files.
    • Back Office interface consistency without forcing overrides.
    • Smooth updates for both the shop and the module.

    Features – Front Office

    1. A complete product page

    The module does not modify the template and does not add its own widget, but it unlocks the ability to display the full content prepared in Back Office.

    • Comprehensive information for the customer even before they contact the shop staff.
    • A professional presentation for products with very extensive specifications.
    • Protection of content against forced, artificial text shortening in the panel.

    2. A solid foundation for on-page SEO

    No text limits means an open door to building a stronger content structure on the offer page.

    • Natural long-tail keyword density in a sales-driven context.
    • Expansion of the heading structure (H2, H3) and the indexable surface.
    • Coverage of informational intent directly on the product page, without splitting traffic across blog posts.

    Impact on sales and optimisation

    In practice, PP Long Description Limit unlocks the potential of your content team. It means faster work for copywriters, no support tickets for developers caused by save errors, and trouble-free publication of descriptions with a rich HTML structure such as parameter tables, video instructions and FAQ sections.

    From an SEO perspective, the module gives you room to expand the product description with keywords, which directly supports indexing and visibility in Google. From a sales perspective, it helps you finally convince a hesitant customer through complete argumentation and the absence of information gaps.

    Important implementation notes

    Note: Before deploying the module to production, we recommend creating a database backup and testing it on a development instance. If your product_lang.description column is not of type MEDIUMTEXT or LONGTEXT, the module will deliberately and safely limit the effective character count. After changing the configuration, make sure the PrestaShop cache has been cleared and the save process has been verified in the appropriate Multistore contexts.</span >
