- The "Summary" field enables you to write a short description that will appear in search engines and in the description for your product.
This field is limited to 400 characters by default: if you exceed that limit, PrestaShop will warn you with a message in red below the field. You can change that limit in the "Products" preference page, where you will find the "Max size of product summary" option. - The "Description" field enables you to write a full description of your product, which will appear directly on the product page. The text editor offers a wide range of options for creating visually attractive descriptions (font, size, text color, etc.).
While this second field has no limits, there is such thing as too much content: strive to provide the essential information in a compelling way, and your product should be good to go.
Feature
Below the product descriptions, you can several options. The "Features" tab is where you specify Add a feature" option if for specifying your products' features (i.e. weight, material, country of origin, etc.).
When you create features and values (i.e. wool knit and micro-fiber materials), you assign them to the products when it is appropriate. This means that you do not have to fill out the features fields for each of your products but instead simply fill in the necessary values and apply them later.

When clicking on "Add a feature", a drop-down menu appears, listing all of your shop's features. Not all of them pertain to this product: PrestaShop will only take as relevant the features where you actually set a value.You can either set a value manually in the "Customized value" or you can use Select which feature you want to add. Next, you can either assign it one of the pre-defined values (as set when creating the feature) if there are any available, or set a value manually in the "Customized value" field.
If no value is available for a feature, the mention "No result found" appears (short for "not available" or "not applicable"), followed by a "Add pre-defined values first" button.
