PrestaShop 9.2.0 Beta Release: One Page Checkout, AskAI & Extra Properties (2026)

PrestaShop has entered the public beta phase for version 9.2.0. After months of development on the 9.2.x branch, the core team branched off develop, hit feature freeze on 9 July 2026, and shipped the first public beta build — 9.2.0-beta.1 — for merchants and developers to test.
This is not a production-ready release. Beta software is meant for staging environments, module compatibility checks, and feedback — not for live stores handling real orders. That said, 9.2.0 is one of the most feature-rich minor releases in recent PrestaShop history. Three headline additions — One Page Checkout, AskAI, and Extra Properties — sit alongside deeper B2B foundations and continued back-office modernization.
In this post, we break down what is new, who should test the beta, and how to prepare your shop for the stable release.

PrestaShop 9.2.0 Beta at a Glance

⚠️ Beta warning: Do not upgrade a production store to 9.2.0 beta. Use a staging copy, a local Docker install, or a dedicated test server. Report bugs on the official 9.2.0 release tracker.

Three Headline Features in PrestaShop 9.2

According to the official PrestaShop roadmap, version 9.2 centers on three merchant-facing capabilities designed to improve conversions, back-office efficiency, and data flexibility.

1. One Page Checkout (Beta)

Cart abandonment remains one of the biggest revenue leaks in ecommerce. PrestaShop 9.2 introduces a One Page Checkout (OPC) flow that combines address entry, shipping selection, and payment into a single step — while keeping the classic multi-step checkout available as a fallback.
What the beta includes:

• A new OPC template and dedicated hooks for theme and module developers.
• Feature-flag control so merchants can enable OPC without forcing it store-wide.
• Compatibility layer for orders created before multi-shipment support.

For merchants, the goal is straightforward: fewer steps between “Add to cart” and “Order confirmed.” For agencies, OPC hooks mean themes can customize the layout without overriding core checkout controllers.

2. AskAI — Native Back-Office Assistant

AskAI is PrestaShop’s built-in AI assistant, pre-installed in the back office. Instead of clicking through menus to find order counts, stock levels, or configuration settings, merchants can ask questions in natural language and trigger actions from a chat interface.
Key points:

• Powered by the PrestaShop MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which connects store data to AI agents securely.
• Merchants can plug in their preferred AI provider — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or others.
• Context-aware forms and CRUD operations are being refined so the assistant understands whether you are browsing settings or editing a record.

The MCP Server itself graduated from beta earlier in 2026 with token authentication, granular access controls, and n8n workflow compatibility. AskAI brings that infrastructure directly into the merchant experience.

3. Extra Properties — Custom Fields Without Core Hacks

Until now, adding custom data to products, customers, or orders often meant overriding database tables or building fragile module workarounds. Extra Properties introduces a structured way to attach custom fields to core entities without modifying the PrestaShop schema.
What merchants and developers gain:

• Define extra fields from the back office — labels, types, validation rules, and translations.
• Attach properties to products, customers, orders, and other core objects.
• Admin API integration so headless storefronts and external tools can read and write extra property values.
• Symfony Validator constraints replace legacy validation, improving reliability.

This is especially useful for B2B shops that need company-specific metadata, compliance fields, or industry-specific product attributes — without waiting for a core database migration.

Other Notable Changes in 9.2.0 Beta

Beyond the three headline features, the beta changelog includes hundreds of improvements. These are the ones most merchants and agencies will notice day to day.

B2B Foundations (Feature-Flagged)

PrestaShop 9.2 continues building native B2B support developed with agency partner Soledis. The beta adds:

• B2C mode and B2B mode shop settings.
• A structured data model separating business entities from B2B customer contacts.
• Business identifier and address entities moved into a dedicated B2B namespace.

These features ship behind feature flags. They lay groundwork for future B2B workflows — contact roles, approval flows, and scoped pricing rules — without breaking existing B2C stores.

Multi-Shipment & Order Management

Multi-carrier support arrived experimentally in PrestaShop 9.1. Version 9.2 stabilizes much of that work:

• Create, split, merge, and soft-delete shipments from the order page.
• Shipment details on invoices and delivery slips.
• Multi-shipment email templates and carrier eligibility checks.
• Improved shipping cost calculation as a dedicated service.

Back-Office Symfony Migration Continues

Legacy admin pages keep moving to Symfony and Vue 3. Notable migrations in this beta include:

• International > Taxes > Tax Rules — full Symfony migration.
• Configure > Advanced Parameters > Quick Access — modal-based editing replaces window.prompt().
• Countries — Vue 3 address format builder and improved grid actions.
• Merchandise returns — migrated to the modern stack.

Pricing Architecture v2 (Behind Feature Flag)

A new pricing calculator and CartCalculator initialization point toward a redesigned price engine. This is early infrastructure — expect it to mature in future releases rather than change storefront prices immediately.

Front-Office & SEO Improvements

• Structured data rendered on the core side for better search engine markup.
• SEO-friendly attachment URLs: /attachment/{id}-{filename}.
• Improved breadcrumb links and autocomplete tokens on registration and login forms.
• Bot detection updates to filter modern crawlers and AI bots, reducing ghost carts.
