 * Getting this error in the console. Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ‘<‘
 * Looks like the script is missing the closing tag.
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <script type='text/javascript'>    new SezzleInstallmentWidget({        'merchantLocale': 'US',        'platform': 'woocommerce'    });</p><p>    // create an observer instance
       ```

 * [@jtphelan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtphelan/) apologies for the 
   late reply, I am not seeing this issue in the latest plugin version (6.1.7). 
   There is another thread also reporting this issue, where they state the issue
   is resolved. If you are still experiencing the issue, can you please let me know,
   and we will take another look.
