Share-A-Cart

See a full list of supported online retailers and grocers.

What if the person I’m sharing with doesn’t have the Share-A-Cart plugin?

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.

What’s the benefit of using the Share-A-Cart plugin over the website?

With the plugin installed you don’t need to leave the Michaels 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 Michaels cart with someone for them to make and complete the purchase with a pre-loaded cart.

Can I search for Michaels items on the site?

No, Michaels catalog is not yet available on the "Create a Cart " page.

Can I embed Michaels item lists on my own blog or website?

Yes! Whether you made your list through the "Create a Cart " page or through the plugin, once the list is created, you can embed the Michaels item list with our embed widget on your blog, website, or anywhere else. Learn how in our embedding a list guide.

What’s in it for Share-A-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.

What information does Share-A-Cart store about me?

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 .
