What is it?
The Share Cart functionality for Smart Cart V2 allows shoppers to easily share their cart with others by providing a direct URL. This feature enhances the shopping experience by enabling users to share their selected items with family, friends, or colleagues.
How does it work?
For New Carts:
A Cart Share setting is added by default above the Login Button in the settings.
For Existing Carts:
Merchants need to add the Cart Share component from the Header list of components.
For Both Carts:
Clicking the Cart Share option allows merchants to customize the hover text, copied text message, and toggle custom templates.
Merchants can hide the Cart Share setting but cannot delete it.
The Cart Share icon always appears to the left of the close cart/login button.
Clicking the Cart Share icon copies the cart URL to the shopper’s clipboard.
Items in an existing cart of a shared user are preserved.
The Smart Cart will display automatically when the shared URL is accessed, and no login is required.
Advanced Settings
Hover Text
The Hover Text is the message that will appear when users hover over the Cart Share button in the cart. This text can be fully customized by the merchant to guide the shopper on what action to take or provide further context for sharing the cart.
Copied Text Message
The Copied Text Message is the message that will be displayed when a shopper clicks the Cart Share button. This is the text that gets copied to the shopper’s clipboard and can be customized to match the tone or messaging preferences of the merchant.
What limitations are there?
V2 carts only: The Share Cart feature is only available for Smart Cart V2.
Icon Placement: The Cart Share icon can only live in the fixed top bar next to the Login button.
