PrestaShop 9.2 beta ships native One Page Checkout, an AI assistant, and a developer extensibility system.

Current state
PrestaShop has closed the 9.1.x branch with security and bug fix releases and is now in beta for 9.2. The 9.2 release bundles three meaningful changes: a native One Page Checkout module targeting cart abandonment at the checkout step, an Ask AI back-office assistant, and the Extra Properties system — a structured way to attach custom data fields to any entity without overrides.
Where it's heading
9.2 is conversion-focused: One Page Checkout is the kind of feature that moves GMV numbers for merchants, and Ask AI adds LLM assistance directly into the admin. The Extra Properties system is the developer play — it replaces a pattern that historically required unsafe overrides. If the import engine hinted in the August core monthly ships in 9.x, PrestaShop is making a broader infrastructure investment, not just adding merchant-facing features.
Prediction
9.2 stable will ship within weeks of the beta closing; the new import engine is the likely headline for the following 9.3 cycle.
