Critical Error in Vendor Chatbox

Hey, I’m hoping someone can give me some assistance. I have submitted a ticket with wcfm ultimate but not heard back in two days yet. I was hoping maybe someone had had a similar issue and knew what could be done. The vendor chatbox is expecting an array it looks like but is actually getting a string back. I’m not quite sure where to be looking and what might cause it. I’ve gone through and removed all plugins but the error persisted.

When seeking help with this issue, you may be asked for some of the following information:
WordPress version 5.6
Current theme: ShoppingCart (version 1.1.2)
Current plugin: WCFM – WooCommerce Frontend Manager – Ultimate (version 6.5.5)
PHP version 8.0.1
