"The Share-A-Cart feature (Chrome Extension) has greatly impacted our ordering process. Teachers and staff are now able to share all of the items in their cart with one click. We no longer have to click on link after link to add each item in a spreadsheet one by one to a centralized cart. Share-A-Cart has helped us streamline our ordering procedures, and helped lower the stress level induced by ordering hundreds of items at a time."
Matt E. - Director, Expanded Learning Opportunity Program, Northern California

If the cart you’re sharing with them is from Amazon, BestBuy, B & H Photo, IKEA, Instacart, Kroger (and networked grocers), Shopify, or Walmart, the receiving person may use the Share-A-Cart website to receive your cart if they so prefer. All they need to do is enter the Cart ID you've sent them on the Receive a Cart page. For all other retailers, the receiving person will need to install and use the plugin to load your cart. This makes the whole process quicker and easier though as they don’t have to leave the retailer’s site when loading your cart.
With the plugin installed you don’t need to leave the Walmart site, you can just click on the plugin when ready to generate your cart ID and share instantly. It makes the process quicker and easier than having to go to the Share-A-Cart website but both achieve the same result; sharing your Walmart cart with someone for them to make and complete the purchase with a pre-loaded cart.
Share-A-Cart will always be free to use as our revenue comes from the retailers themselves who pay us a small % of each shared cart that is purchased with them. It’s a typical affiliate partnership which doesn’t cost you anything and doesn’t add any extra costs or hidden fees to the price of your cart.
As you might have noticed, using Share-A-Cart does not require a login. We do not store any personally identifiable information. Shopping lists only contain a unique id, but no information about who created it or who used it. You can find more information in our Privacy Policy .
