Overview
The plugin brings WooCommerce order and customer details into Help Scout, where store teams can manage support conversations. Staff can start a conversation from an individual order page, making it easier to address questions about a specific purchase within the support workflow.
Customers can use support forms placed around the site and view or reply to ongoing conversations from their My Account area. Store teams can also turn blog comments into support tickets, giving customer questions and complaints a place in the Help Scout mailbox.
