Alert
The Quick Support Plugin is designed to replace the older Customer Plugin. While existing users of the Customer Plugin can continue to use it for now, active development and updates for the plugin have been paused. Its functionality will remain available for the coming months, but we recommend all users to transition to the Quick Support Plugin to leverage its new features and improvements.
