 * Hi,
 * I want to thank you in advance for a great simple plugin.
 * But I ran into a problem with php versions. I tried to implement QR payments 
   on older websites that run on php 7.4. and I get this info:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       CRITICAL Composer detected issues in your platform: Your Composer dependencies require a PHP version ">= 8.1.0".
       ```
   
 * PHP version here on wordpress: 7.2
 * **Thanks for your help**

 * Hi,
 * Thanks for your kind feedback about the plugin!
 * Sorry for the confusion with PHP versions – the plugin needs PHP 8.1 or higher
   to run due to some dependencies that handle QR code generation. I’ll make sure
   to update this requirement in the documentation with the next release.
 * Since you’re currently on PHP 7.4, you’ll need to upgrade PHP to use the plugin.
   This would also be a good security move anyway, as PHP 7.4 is no longer getting
   security updates.
 * Let me know if you need any help! And feel free to suggest any features you’d
   like to see in future versions.
