Zendesk Chat is live chat software, which can be added to a website and is often used by online stores' customer service representatives.
The extension was removed on 28 August 2019
If you've enabled the extension in your online store before the update, you will still be able to use it. However, the extension is obsolete and most probably doesn't work properly anymore.
From now on, you can install a customer service chat in your online store by editing the store theme.
Often chat customer service is much faster and more efficient that something such as conversing via email. Chat customer service enables your customers to contact you directly while browsing your store's products at the same time.

Installation and activation
Below you can learn how to enable Zendesk Chat:

If you haven't used Zendesk Chat before, create a new customer account first. If you already have your own Zendesk credentials, see the instructions on how to use them in MyCashflow.
Before opening a new user account, enable the Zendesk Chat extension on your online store's admin panel page . Enabling the extension is free of charge.
To create a new user account:
- The first time you log in, you'll see a form for filling in your user details.
- In the next stage, you'll see the code for embedding the chat. Copy the code and, back in your online store's admin panel, paste it into the settings for the Zendesk Chat extension.
Alternatively, paste your Zendesk Chat credentials instead of the embed code into the extension settings.
