Activation of old payments
In connection with the upgrade, it should be noted that payments made with the old contract (old IDs) may not be activated with the IDs of the new contract. Therefore you should activate as many payments as possible before changing IDs. If older orders / payments are not activated after changing the IDs, they must be activated in Klarna's service.
