More info: Prestashop Increase characters limit in product description

By default, PrestaShop limits the length of product descriptions, preventing you from saving product settings if the description exceeds this limit. This results in the loss of both modifications and the lengthy description itself. The current standard limit is 21844 characters, encompassing both text and HTML markup. This plugin allows you to increase this limit, providing greater flexibility for detailed product information. This enhanced flexibility is crucial for several reasons described below.

This translates to increased organic traffic and potential sales. By utilizing this plugin, you can craft more comprehensive and informative product descriptions, boosting your SEO performance.
  • Enhanced User Experience: Providing detailed and comprehensive product information empowers customers to make informed purchase decisions. A complete understanding of the product's features, benefits, and specifications fosters trust and reduces purchase hesitation. This plugin facilitates the creation of rich, descriptive content that enhances the overall user experience.

You can include detailed specifications, usage instructions, compelling narratives, and other valuable information without being constrained by arbitrary length restrictions. This empowers you to create truly engaging and informative product pages.
