Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: A statement entry showing HELP SCOUT* CUSTOMER corresponds to a software subscription fee for shared customer support inboxes, knowledge base tools, or live chat widgets provided by Help Scout PBC. Help Scout operates as a public benefit corporation offering customer service software to growing businesses and remote teams.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears on your statement on a recurring monthly or annual billing cycle based on the number of user seats active in your company workspace. When a team trial transitions to a paid plan or additional support agents are added, the billing system automatically charges the registered credit card.
