SumUp Upgrade and Migration Guide

Knowledge and APIs can change. Always prefer current official docs and release notes.

• Docs root: https://developer.sumup.com/
• LLM entrypoint: https://developer.sumup.com/llms.txt

Use this skill when the request is about upgrades, version bumps, deprecations, or migrations.

Supported Upgrade Targets

• Node: @sumup/sdk
• Go: sumup-go
• Python: sumup
• PHP, Java, Rust, .NET SDK/client integrations
• iOS Terminal SDK
• Android Reader SDK
• Swift Checkout SDK
• React Native SDK
• Checkouts API and related webhook/3DS endpoint usage

Upgrade Workflow

1) Pre-upgrade inventory

Capture:

• Current SDK/library versions by service/app.
• All used SumUp endpoints and fields.
• Auth mode (API key/OAuth), scopes, and webhook signature setup.
• Environments impacted (sandbox, staging, production).

2) Breaking-change diff

For each SDK or endpoint migration:

• Compare changelog and migration notes.
• Identify renamed/removed fields, enums, and callback signatures.
• Identify behavior changes in async/payment status semantics.
• Identify deprecated endpoints and required replacements.

3) Migration implementation

• Upgrade one surface at a time (server SDK, then mobile SDK, then UI integration).
• Keep a compatibility adapter where necessary to isolate application code from SDK changes.
• Replace deprecated endpoints with current equivalents, preferring endpoints that accept merchant_code where applicable.
• Keep webhook verification and idempotency logic unchanged unless required.

4) Post-upgrade validation

• Run happy path payment in sandbox.
• Run deliberate failure (amount = 11) and verify order state remains unpaid.
• Verify 3DS redirect/challenge and return handling.
• Verify webhook retries and idempotent processing.
• Verify duplicate reference behavior and reconciliation fields.

5) Rollout and rollback

• Roll out in stages (internal -> low-volume -> full traffic).
• Add release toggles where practical.
• Keep previous version rollback path ready until metrics are stable.

Migration Checklist

• All deprecated SumUp endpoints removed from active code paths.
• SDK major/minor versions pinned consistently across services/apps.
• Any generated API clients re-generated and committed.
• Integration tests updated for new response shapes.
• Runbook updated with new status/error codes.
• Monitoring alerts reviewed for new failure signatures.

Required Response Contract

Every upgrade answer should include:

1. Current state summary and target version.
2. Breaking changes and affected code surfaces.
3. Minimal safe migration sequence.
4. Validation plan including forced-failure path.
5. Rollback strategy and go/no-go criteria.
