Foxy vs PrestaShop: at a glance
What is Foxy?
Foxy follows its legacy API lockdown with a FedEx rate-type option.
Foxy's changelog is a steady run of small fixes across payments, shipping carriers and store settings. The past month centered on secrets handling: committed AWS credentials removed, encryption keys moved to a key provider, and restricted legacy API access for stores still on old FoxyShop store secrets. The October 14 release returns to carriers, letting FedEx return either account or list rates.
What is PrestaShop?
PrestaShop 9.2 is out, with One Page Checkout, Ask AI and Extra Properties in stable.
PrestaShop 9.2 reached stable on September 30, nine days after RC1, carrying One Page Checkout, the Ask AI back-office assistant and the Extra Properties system. The September core monthly reports it shipped with Hummingbird 2.1.2 and a wave of native module releases. On October 21 the project published guidance on two critical PHP vulnerabilities fixed that day, which are runtime issues rather than PrestaShop releases.
Foxy vs PrestaShop: editorial side-by-side
Foxy
5.0E-COMM
Foxy follows its legacy API lockdown with a FedEx rate-type option.
◆ Current state
Foxy's changelog is a steady run of small fixes across payments, shipping carriers and store settings. The past month centered on secrets handling: committed AWS credentials removed, encryption keys moved to a key provider, and restricted legacy API access for stores still on old FoxyShop store secrets. The October 14 release returns to carriers, letting FedEx return either account or list rates.
◆ Where it's heading
The security pass moved from internal hygiene to changes customers notice, peaking with the legacy API restriction. With that done, work is drifting back to carrier and API options, with no new product surface.
◆ Prediction
Expect more carrier and payment connector options interleaved with legacy-credential cleanup. The entries show no sign of a larger feature release.
PrestaShop
5.0E-COMM
PrestaShop 9.2 is out, with One Page Checkout, Ask AI and Extra Properties in stable.
◆ Current state
PrestaShop 9.2 reached stable on September 30, nine days after RC1, carrying One Page Checkout, the Ask AI back-office assistant and the Extra Properties system. The September core monthly reports it shipped with Hummingbird 2.1.2 and a wave of native module releases. On October 21 the project published guidance on two critical PHP vulnerabilities fixed that day, which are runtime issues rather than PrestaShop releases.
◆ Where it's heading
The 9.2 cycle ran from a July beta to September stable with its scope intact, and the focus now shifts from building it to rollout. The monthly points to PS Summit about a month out as the next community moment. The August monthly's new import engine has not reappeared in these entries, so it remains the visible unfinished item.
◆ Prediction
Expect 9.2.x maintenance and more native module updates next. Whether the import engine or a 9.3 plan surfaces around PS Summit is not stated in the entries.
