About PrestaShop
PrestaShop 9.2 brings one-page checkout and native custom fields into core
PrestaShop 9.2 hit feature freeze in early July and beta on 22 July, and the release is defined by two native additions: a first-party one-page checkout module and an Extra Properties system for attaching custom fields to any entity without overrides. An Ask AI assistant also appears in the beta but is described only in passing. The remainder of the feed is community programming, covering PS Summit, an OW2 award, and a public Figma file for the Hummingbird theme.
