Utility Bar: A Fully Configurable Top Bar for Your PrestaShop 9 Store

The very top of every page on your store is prime real estate for essential information and calls to action. The Utility Bar module for PrestaShop 9 displays a fully configurable bar with a phone number, mobile link, account links, language and currency selectors, scrolling announcement text, and a countdown timer — giving every visitor instant access to key information the moment they land on your site.

Why a Top Utility Bar Makes a Difference

Visitors to your store want quick answers to basic questions: "How do I contact you?", "Can I browse in my language?", "Is there an offer ending soon?" The Utility Bar answers all of these in a single line at the top of every page, improving user experience and increasing the likelihood of contact, purchase, and return visits.

Key Features

  • Phone and mobile contact: Display your phone number with click-to-call functionality — especially effective for mobile shoppers.
  • Account links: Quick access to sign in, register, and manage accounts directly from the bar.
  • Language and currency selectors: Strengthen the multilingual shopping experience with prominent, accessible language and currency switchers.
  • Scrolling text announcements: Display promotions, notices, or messages in a scrolling banner — eye-catching without disrupting the main layout.
  • Countdown timer: Create urgency for time-limited offers with a built-in countdown timer displayed in the bar.
  • Full configurability: Enable or disable each element independently and customise colours and content from the back office.
  • Full PrestaShop 9 compatibility: Symfony-based, lightweight, and built for the Hummingbird theme.

Benefits for the Merchant

The Utility Bar turns an unused strip at the top of your site into a powerful communication, navigation, and marketing tool. Without burdening your layout, you add real value for visitors — increasing the chances of contact, conversion, and repeat business. Every element is optional, so you show exactly what matters to your store and your customers.
