How to Share Shopify Cart

Shopify is a platform where people create online stores. Many small businesses and even big brands use it to sell their stuff—like clothes, candles, gadgets, food, and more. But here's a common problem: what if you want to share your Shopify cart with someone else? Maybe you're shopping with a friend. Maybe you're working with a client or buying gifts for your team.

Whatever the reason, it should be simple to send someone your cart. Sadly, most Shopify stores don’t have a "share cart" button. You're stuck copying product links one at a time or taking screenshots. That takes time and gets messy. But there’s good news! You can now share your cart with just one click—thanks to a free Chrome extension.

Why Share Your Shopify Cart?

There are plenty of reasons to share a Shopify cart:

Friends shopping together for the same hoodie or sneakers.
Coworkers choosing team swag for a company event.
Small business teams picking branded merchandise for giveaways.
Gift planners building a group list for birthdays, weddings, or holidays.
Designers or stylists helping clients choose outfits or home goods.

Instead of copying every item link or writing a list, it’s much faster to share a single link that shows your entire cart.

Can You Share Your Shopify Cart?

Yes! Even though many Shopify stores don'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 Shopify.

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 any store powered by Shopify. 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

Install the extension. Go to the extension page ↗ and install it on Chrome or Edge.
Shop like usual. Add items to your cart like you normally would.
Click "Share Cart". Open any store page and click the new “Share Cart” button.
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
Most Shopify stores don't have a share cart feature
Shares exact items and quantities
Shares exact store and options

Another Option: Copy and Paste Product Links

Here is an example cart (from a Shopify powered store):

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.
