What is Bopple?

Bopple keeps taking steps out of the hospitality order.

Bopple's last two months target friction at checkout and at the counter. Web and QR orders now finish with Apple Pay or Google Pay and no account. Sign-in uses an SMS code instead of a password, and Check-in Pay accepts wallet cards. On the operator side, Sales Statistics now splits revenue by channel, Square menus sync per location, and limited items can run on set dates.

What is PrestaShop?

PrestaShop patches 33 vulnerabilities across 9.2.1 and 8.2.9 on the same day.

PrestaShop 9.2 reached stable on September 30 with One Page Checkout, the Ask AI back-office assistant and Extra Properties. On November 9 the project shipped 9.2.1 with eighteen security fixes and 8.2.9 with fifteen, both from coordinated disclosure. The October core monthly describes a maturing Admin API and performance work on the develop branch.

Bopple vs PrestaShop: editorial side-by-side

B
Bopple
E-COMM
5.0

Bopple keeps taking steps out of the hospitality order.

◆ Current state

Bopple's last two months target friction at checkout and at the counter. Web and QR orders now finish with Apple Pay or Google Pay and no account. Sign-in uses an SMS code instead of a password, and Check-in Pay accepts wallet cards. On the operator side, Sales Statistics now splits revenue by channel, Square menus sync per location, and limited items can run on set dates.

◆ Where it's heading

The pattern is fewer steps between a hungry customer and a paid order, plus the reporting to show operators that it worked. POS reliability (automatic retries, stock-error handling) and multi-location Square support show Bopple deepening ties to the systems venues already run, not replacing them.

◆ Prediction

Passwordless sign-in is marked as coming soon for mobile apps, so the app version is the most likely next release.

PrestaShop logo5.0

PrestaShop patches 33 vulnerabilities across 9.2.1 and 8.2.9 on the same day.

◆ Current state

PrestaShop 9.2 reached stable on September 30 with One Page Checkout, the Ask AI back-office assistant and Extra Properties. On November 9 the project shipped 9.2.1 with eighteen security fixes and 8.2.9 with fifteen, both from coordinated disclosure. The October core monthly describes a maturing Admin API and performance work on the develop branch.

◆ Where it's heading

After the 9.2 feature cycle, the project is in a maintenance phase that keeps two branches patched at once. The 8.2 line is still receiving security releases, so merchants on older installs are not yet being forced onto 9.x.

◆ Prediction

Expect published advisories for the November fixes and further 9.2.x patch releases while Admin API work continues toward the next minor version.
