Help Scout integration for Easy Digital Downloads

Thanks for the updating the plugin, and for your support, this plugin has been very useful.

Works great!

This plugin is indispensable for an EDD shop using Help Scout. It bridges the gap between the two apps, saving support agents time. It works perfectly.

Thank you Thomas for picking up development of the plugin and Danny for launching it years ago.

Indispensable

If you are using Easy Digital Downloads, and run your support through Helpscout this plugin is a must.

It's really simple, and it works. It saves me tons of time looking up customer records, licences, processing refunds, etc. Really makes Helpscout a much more viable tool for running your customer support and technical support.

@webzunft Thank you so much for taking this plugin over and getting it working again. I was rather upset when it stopped working, and appeared to be no longer supported.

Makes my workday so much easier

We have been using this for a couple of years. Works amazingly well. Huge timesaver!

Great

Using the plugin on two websites with thousands of customers, and the plugin has saved us hours of time and efforts! 
It's easy to look up customer records with a single click and manage their Licenses. 

Thanks a ton, Thomas, for sharing your fantastic work with us! 

Huge time saver!

Before doing my support rounds on Help Scout I decided to installed this. I've just installed it and got it up and running in less than 5 minutes.

After that I dove into my support tickets and I could immediately tell this is going to be a huge timesaver.

Thanks a lot for creating this!

This is going to be a huge timesaver

I am using this plugin on both of my EDD stores for LoginPress and Analytify.

Helps in support management a lot.

Excellent Work!

Thanks so much for developing this plugin. It's really enormously helpful for anyone using EDD.

Hugely helpful


This plugin saves us time and allows us to provide better and faster service.


Thank you


There's no way around to this widget, when you use EDD and offer support via HelpScout!
