PrestaShop vs SAP Commerce Cloud
A side-by-side editorial comparison of PrestaShop and SAP Commerce Cloud — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
PrestaShop vs SAP Commerce Cloud: at a glance
What is 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.
What is SAP Commerce Cloud?
SAP is retiring its storefront UIs and rebuilding the surface as APIs.
The dated window is platform housekeeping from March — configurable JWT signing, token granter extensions, custom login redirect placeholders, a B2B customer search API. The undated rows carry a much larger June release: the Accelerator storefront UIs and AddOn-based OCC V2 extensions are deprecated in favour of headless commerce, the open payment framework gains gift cards, tokenization and split-payment extension points, and a run of OCC endpoints appears for wishlists, B2B units and access control.

PrestaShop
7.5E-COMM
PrestaShop 9.2 brings one-page checkout and native custom fields into core
◆ Current state
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.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is moving customization out of the override system and into supported extension points, and moving conversion-critical commerce surfaces out of the paid-module market and into core. Extra Properties ships with multistore, multilang, Back Office, Front Office, and Admin API support, which is the shape of a platform primitive rather than a feature. The 9.2 cycle will be judged largely on whether the native checkout is good enough to displace what merchants currently buy.
◆ Prediction
Beta feedback will concentrate on the one-page checkout module ahead of a stable 9.2 release. The Ask AI assistant is described too thinly across these entries to say where it lands.
SAP Commerce Cloud
0.0E-COMM
SAP is retiring its storefront UIs and rebuilding the surface as APIs.
◆ Current state
The dated window is platform housekeeping from March — configurable JWT signing, token granter extensions, custom login redirect placeholders, a B2B customer search API. The undated rows carry a much larger June release: the Accelerator storefront UIs and AddOn-based OCC V2 extensions are deprecated in favour of headless commerce, the open payment framework gains gift cards, tokenization and split-payment extension points, and a run of OCC endpoints appears for wishlists, B2B units and access control.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads run in parallel and they are the same thread. Legacy front-end layers are being deprecated, and the functionality they carried is reappearing as OCC APIs — which is how SAP decouples its upgrade cycle from every customer's storefront customisations. The payment framework work points the other way, toward commerce models the platform could not previously express, with split payments opening marketplace scenarios. Security and identity plumbing — PKCS12 keystores, audit log accuracy, endpoint-level access control — continues underneath at a steady rate.
◆ Prediction
Expect the deprecation list to keep growing on the same argument, with more accelerator functionality re-exposed through OCC ahead of a removal date; the split-payment extension points are the piece most likely to become a supported marketplace capability rather than partner plumbing.
