In some cases, we may provide a local (downloaded) copy of our Chrome Extension in order to provide you with additional features, critical updates, or bug fixes.
Important
This article is only relevant to users who have been provided a local (zip) copy of the extension to use in critical situations. If you do not have a local copy to install, this will not be relevant to you. Most users are advised to install the copy from the Chrome web store instead.
Local installs are meant to be temporary. They are not updated and can create issues down the road if you do not ultimately update to the Chrome web store version. Please reach out to our Dept. Customer Love for further support on this or if you have any questions.

1. Download the Chili Piper Chrome Extension zip provided by our Dept. Customer Love.
