Here are the latest important PrestaShop developments I found as of September 7, 2026:
🚀 1. PrestaShop 9.2 is the big upcoming release
PrestaShop 9.2 is currently in beta, with several major changes: (PrestaShop)
- Native One-Page Checkout — address, shipping and payment on one page.
- Ask AI in the Back Office — merchants can query store data and perform actions using natural language.
- Extra Properties — add custom data fields to core entities such as products, customers and orders.
- More of the legacy Back Office is being migrated to Symfony.
- AI integration can use providers such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini through the PrestaShop MCP Server. (PrestaShop)
🔐 2. Security updates
PrestaShop 9.1.4 and 8.2.7 were released with an updated ps_facetedsearch module addressing a security issue. If you’re running either branch, updating is important. (PrestaShop)
🏆 3. PrestaShop won an OW2 award
PrestaShop received the OW2 Best Project Award in the community category at OW2con 2026, recognizing its open-source ecosystem. (PrestaShop)
🤖 4. PrestaShop’s direction is becoming much more AI-focused
The roadmap points toward agentic commerce in PrestaShop 10: AI agents could eventually browse catalogs, create carts and complete purchases through standardized commerce protocols. PrestaShop is also moving toward a more headless/API-first architecture. (PrestaShop)
🏢 5. Company ownership changed
PrestaShop entered a new chapter with cyber_Folks, alongside Sylius and BitBag. The company also announced a formal restructuring process earlier in 2026. (PrestaShop)
For you as a PrestaShop module developer, I think the most important things to watch are PrestaShop 9.2, Ask AI/MCP, One-Page Checkout, Extra Properties, and the move toward API/headless architecture. These could create opportunities for new modules and upgrades.
