A few important clarifications that are often glossed over in the forum:

PrestaShop 9.0.x was marketed as stable
In reality, it behaved more like an extended release candidate. Core workflows (including International → Locations → States/Provinces) have produced regressions, validation errors, and UI inconsistencies that simply did not exist in mature 1.7 or 8.x branches.

Current reality: 9.1 is still beta
The currently announced 9.1.x line is explicitly a beta. By definition:

  • It is not intended for common use
  • It assumes advanced users, staging environments, and log-level debugging
  • Merchants should expect breakage, schema changes, and unfinished features

That alone should have been communicated much more clearly.

Community “testing” ≠ informed consent

  • Year after year, the same pattern repeats:
  • A major version is labeled “ready”
  • Merchants upgrade in good faith
  • Real-world issues surface

The community ends up discovering and reporting problems post-release

 

I highly recommend and what should be stated by seasoned PrestaShop users is that PS9 is not ready, to not use ps9 but an earlier version or just find another ecommerce platform, there are plenty and none use the business module that PrestaShop uses.  PrestaShop lost so much market share doing things like this, ps9 has NO must have feature, PrestaShop does this so people have to repurchase modules and themes, none of which are very good.

If you want a stable PrestaShop then use 8.2.3.

I challenge other forum members to  speak the truth to new users and who got tricked in ps9, use any previous stable version.  

Hopefully the new owners of PrestaShop will put an end to this, I think they will.

Thank you, I had a 1.7.8 running but somehow I got major errors after a update and after resetting the backup i still had errors, products not showing in my orders. etc. so I decided to upgrade to  a new version instead. But horror as well, going to work on 8.2.3 right away. I have to get it back running asap. No income this way.
