How to share carts & drive sales via social or email

What if your next sale did not come from search or ads, but from a single, shareable link?

Today’s shoppers are social. They share product finds with friends, send wishlists to partners, and solicit input before making a purchase. So why not make it easy for them to share their actual cart?

With the Keep & Share Your Cart app, you can turn every cart into a link, one that your customers can send through Instagram DMs, WhatsApp, email, or wherever they chat. And when sharing is this simple, it naturally brings more traffic, higher intent visits, and stronger conversions.

Here is how merchants are using cart sharing to increase their bottom line:

🛍️ 1. Shareable carts = Faster decisions

Your customers often need a second opinion. Instead of asking a friend to “check out this site,” they send the cart itself, with everything inside already selected.

This saves time, reduces friction, and increases the chance of that cart being purchased. Shared carts often lead to faster decision-making and fewer abandoned carts.

📲 2. Social media = Free word-of-mouth

Let influencers or customers showcase their favorite product combinations by sharing a cart link in their stories or bios.

Whether it is a skincare routine, an outfit combo, or a gift set, you are letting them say:
“Here is exactly what I bought, click and get the same.”

With Keep & Share Your Cart, that becomes a one-click journey for their followers.

💌 3. Email marketing = Personal & productive

Add a shared cart to your post-purchase flows, abandoned cart emails, or staff picks newsletters. Instead of just promoting a collection, you are giving customers a pre-filled, curated shopping experience.

Example use case:

“Loved our summer lookbook? Grab our editor’s cart and make it yours.”

Shared carts help turn content into commerce.

🔁 4. Great for orders and gifting

Did you get a repeat customer? Let them save and reuse their cart link next time.
Running a gifting campaign? Offer shoppers a ready-to-share cart they can send to friends or family.

You are not just selling products, you are making it easier to buy again or buy for someone else.

How it works

The Keep & Share Your Cart app does all the work behind the scenes:

✔️ Customers click a button to save their cart
🔗 They receive a shareable link
💬 They can share it via link, email, or apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,          Pinterest, Telegram, Weibo, and Reddit.
🛒 The recipient opens it and lands directly on a pre-filled cart
💳 All that is left? Checkout.

No logins. No confusion. Just a bridge from discovery to purchase.
