PrestaShop 9.1 Beta is here, and it includes several major improvements that you can already start exploring and sharing feedback on. Your input is valuable for the final release of PrestaShop 9.1.

PrestaShop 9.1

We are excited to announce the availability of the first beta version of PrestaShop 9.1. This release brings significant changes, including a new default Hummingbird theme, a revamped discount system, and multi-carrier support.

Remember, this beta version is pre-release software. It is possible that you will encounter some issues. Do not use it in your production shop!

What’s inside PrestaShop 9.1 Beta?

Here are the main features you will find in this new version, along with more information for each one to help you prepare for 9.1.

Hummingbird 2.0 Beta - new default theme

Hummingbird 2 represents a major evolution in theme architecture, set to become the default standard in PrestaShop 9.1. It provides a structured, scalable foundation that empowers developers and agencies to built and customize online stores with ease. Built on a modern tech stack including Bootstrap 5, it prioritizes performance and inclusivity, achieving over 95% compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

Since Hummingbird is one of the biggest projects in PrestaShop, we decided to open a dedicated discussion space on GitHub Discussions for you to share your feedback and report any issues you may encounter while testing it.

Multi-carrier / Multi-shipping feature

PrestaShop 9.1 Beta addresses the complexity of the “1 order = 1 carrier” limitation by moving toward a shipment-based approach. This includes split and merge shipments, clearer displays across key touchpoints, and improved clarity for both merchants and customers.

Note: this feature is behind a feature flag.

Discounts - improved discount management

Discounts have been redesigned to simplify their creation and improve performance and clarity compared to the legacy cart rules approach. The new structure is based on four types: Catalog, Cart, Free Shipping, and Free Gift.

Note: this feature is behind a feature flag.

Requirements for PrestaShop 9.1 Beta 1

You need a fully working environment, either a server or Docker, that meets the following requirements:

  • PHP 8.1 (PHP up to 8.4 is supported)
  • Composer 2
  • Node.js 20 and NPM 10

Make sure to check all system requirements in the documentation. You must also have Git installed on your machine.

Creating a custom ZIP

If you prefer not to use the Classic version, you can build a custom ZIP file using the PrestaShop 9.1 Beta 1 installer, which does not include PrestaShop SA modules. To do so, use the PrestaShop Release Creation tool.

  1. Clone the PrestaShop repository using the “9.1.0-beta.1-build” tag: git clone [email protected]:PrestaShop/PrestaShop.git --branch "9.1.0-beta.1-build" .. Note: use a directory name other than . if you wish to clone the repository elsewhere.
  2. Run composer create-release or php tools/build/CreateRelease.php in the root directory of the PrestaShop repository.
  3. The script will create a ZIP file with the PrestaShop 9.1 Beta 1 distribution in the tools/build/releases/9.1.0_date_time/ directory.

The installation process remains the same as in previous versions.
