Super useful. Fills a weirdly necessary niche (why don’t amazon/walmart have this feature built in???)

The plugin best suited to support Shopify is listed below. You’ll be taken to the relevant browser extension store or mobile app market where you can install it (there’s no sign up required):

Share-A-Cart external link

Share-A-Cart supports sending and receiving lists made for Shopify originating from any Shopify store. Additionally, enjoy sending and receiving carts from 167 major retailers including Amazon, AliExpress, Costco, BestBuy, Wayfair, Walmart and many more. See a full list of supported online retailers and grocers.

I opened a Shopify powered store, can I offer my shoppers Share-A-Cart via the Shopify Platform?

Absolutely! Share-A-Cart for Your Store external link is a Shopify app to let your users quickly share their pre-filled carts with anyone else without leaving your store's website.

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 external link 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 Shopify 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 Shopify cart with someone for them to make and complete the purchase with a pre-loaded cart.

Can I search for Shopify items on the site?

No, Shopify catalog is not yet available on the " Create a Cart external link " page.

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

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

Use it every week. Have 16 weeks of recipes (3 per week) stored in Share-a-Cart so I can easily order our weekly groceries from Whole Foods.

I use Share-A-Cart all the time to send a list to my secretary, so she can create a purchase order and order my items. The great thing about this site is that it includes amounts of each item. When I have shared a school 'wish list' before, it never allowed me to indicate if I wanted more than one of any item. I would have to include that in an email. Making the process more complicated and inefficient.

Simple. Two clicks, send, and someone else has everything in my cart. Beautiful. Only so many things in life can take a form so simple and elegant — this is one of them.

This is why I love extensions and this one is downright magical: 1-click and my entire cart is packed and ready to be used. 1-click at destination and the entire cart is reloaded and ready to be purchased. THANK YOU
