How to Share IKEA Cart

IKEA is a super popular store where you can buy furniture, home goods, and even snacks. People love IKEA because it’s affordable, stylish, and fun to browse—whether online or in person. You can shop for everything from couches to desks, shelves, lamps, rugs, kitchen tools, and more.

When you shop on the IKEA website, you can add stuff to your cart, just like any online store. But what if you want to share your IKEA cart with someone else? Maybe you’re moving into a new place with a roommate. Maybe your partner wants to help decorate. Maybe you’re working on a project and need your client to approve the furniture.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to share an IKEA cart, why it’s helpful, and the easiest way to do it using a free tool ↗. Don’t worry—it's simple and only takes a few seconds to get started.

Why Share Your IKEA Cart?

People share carts all the time when they shop together or plan projects. IKEA is no different. Here are some examples of when sharing your cart comes in handy:

  • Roommates decorating together and splitting furniture costs.
  • Interior designers sharing furniture lists with clients.
  • Couples furnishing a new apartment and making decisions together.
  • College students showing their parents what they plan to buy.
  • Event planners prepping for parties, weddings, or pop-up shops.

Can You Share Your IKEA Cart?

Yes! Even though IKEA doesn’t have a built-in “share cart” feature, it is still possible.

The best way to do it is by using a Chrome extension called Share Amazon Cart ↗. This tool helps you turn your cart into a link that you can share with anyone. There are also other ways like using lists or copying product links, but the Chrome extension is the most straightforward way on IKEA.

Using the “Share Amazon Cart” Chrome Extension

What It Is

The Share Amazon Cart Extension ↗ is a free tool for Chrome and Edge users. It lets you create a link from your IKEA cart. When someone clicks the link, they’ll see all the items and can add them to their own cart with one click.

The extension requires minimal permissions and installs quickly.

How to Use the Extension

  1. Install the extension. Go to the extension page ↗ and install it on Chrome or Edge.
  2. Shop like usual. Add items to your IKEA cart like you normally would.
  3. Click "Share Cart". Open any IKEA page and click the new “Share Cart” button.
  4. Copy & Share. Copy the shareable link and send it to someone.

The recipient opens the link and adds the same items to their cart.

Note: It does not clear anything previously in their cart.

Why It’s Better Than Other Methods

  • Share a cart without having to share accounts
  • Works with ikea.com and all other countries
  • Shares exact items and quantities
  • Shares exact brands and sizes

Another Option: Copy and Paste Product Links

Here is an example cart:
  1. Clothes rack
  2. Cushion cover
  3. Rug flatwoven
  4. Table and 2 folding chairs
  5. Pizza cutter

Manual Process

  • Open each item in the browser.
  • Copy the URL from your browser.
  • Paste each link into a message.

This works if you only have a few products. It’s not ideal for large or complex carts. You risk sending the wrong link or missing an item, which can cause confusion for the people you’re sharing with.
