sumUp fully runs on Forge – Here's what it means for you!

Following Atlassian’s announcement to deprecate the Connect framework in favour of a more modern, secure, and performant Forge platform, we are excited to share that as of 01 December 2025, all sumUp for Jira Cloud features have officially migrated to Atlassian Forge, earning us the “Runs on Atlassian” badge.

This marks the completion of our journey away from Atlassian Connect toward a more secure, modern, and future-proof architecture – with every feature now powered fully on Forge.

Why Move to Forge?

• Enhanced Security: Apps run entirely on Atlassian’s infrastructure with built-in security controls.

• Better Performance: Hosted closer to Jira, ensuring faster, more reliable interactions.

• Future-Ready: Forge is Atlassian’s long-term platform, enabling access to new features and APIs.

• Simplified Maintenance: Atlassian handles hosting and scaling, reducing operational overhead.

• Deeper Integrations: Enables more seamless, native connections with Jira and other Atlassian tools.

Impact on you: manual update required!

One important change with the move to Forge is how updates are delivered. Previously, updates were rolled out automatically to all users. Going forward, major releases that introduce new Forge modules will require manual installation by Jira administrators.

To update to the recent version,

• Navigate to Jira Administration > Manage Apps

• Find sumUp for Jira Cloud in your app list

• Click the "Update" button
