Share Cart and Save Cart for Later for WooCommerce by LeanPlugins
Share cart in one click and save cart for later. Every customer can share cart contents with a unique link, and logged-in users can save unlimited carts with custom names for later purchase.
The share cart feature works for everyone, including guests. One click creates a unique URL that loads the exact cart anywhere, on any device. Perfect for cross-device shopping, getting approval from others, or sharing product recommendations. Logged-in customers can save carts with custom names (like « Birthday Wishlist » or « Monthly Reorder »), viewable in My Account → Saved Carts where they can restore or delete them anytime.
Lightweight, works with classic themes and modern FSE Cart Blocks, and helps reduce cart abandonment while enabling natural product sharing.
