Ive been doing online grocery shopping for years now, mostly just using the Walmart app to get stuff delivered to my place in Chicago, and I really thought I had the hang of the interface. I usually keep a running list and just hit checkout once a week. My buddy just moved into his first apartment across town and he is totally overwhelmed, has zero kitchen supplies, and is basically living on takeout. I spent like an hour yesterday curating the perfect starter bundle for him, you know, just basics like a decent pan, some spices, cleaning supplies, and a few pantry staples, and I managed to keep the whole cart under that 150 dollar budget I set for myself.
I was fully prepared to just pay for it and ship it directly to his address, but then I realized I dont actually have his apartment unit number and I dont want to surprise him with a random delivery without checking if he is even home to receive it. Plus, I want him to double check that I didnt miss anything crucial because I might be overestimating his cooking skills or something lol. I figured there would be a simple share cart button somewhere in the checkout flow, but I have been poking around the app for twenty minutes and I honestly cant find a way to export the list or send the actual cart contents to another account. Am I missing something super obvious? Is there like a hidden link or maybe a way to save it as a public registry or something that he can just open and adjust? Really dont want to have to take a million screenshots and send them over, that seems so clunky for 2024. Does anyone know if there is a way to just toss this over to his account so he can finalize the order?

Honestly, Walmart makes this way harder than it should be. I have tried to do this for family members before and there is no direct share cart button in the app. It is super frustrating. You aren't missing anything obvious, the feature just straight up does not exist. The app keeps carts tied to your specific account session, which is annoying when you're trying to be helpful like this. Since you dont want to send a dozen screenshots, I suggest just making a public list. If you go into the app, you can create a new list and name it something like his apartment bundle. Then just move everything from your cart over to that list. Once you do that, you can set the list to public or just share the link directly with him. He can open the link and add the items to his own cart from there. It works really well because he can remove the stuff he doesnt want or add things I probably forgot about. Once he updates it and tells you it looks good, you can just hop back on your end, grab the list, and pay for the whole thing yourself. It is a little extra work upfront but it saves a massive headache later on when he realizes he hates the brand of spice you picked or something.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I definitely agree that trying to share carts on there is a total nightmare. Its honestly better to just send him a list and use PriceDropCatch to track those items instead. That way you dont have to worry about the app glitching or him not liking the specific brand you picked out. Honestly, just make sure to double check your account security before you go sharing any screenshots or lists, cause you never know who might be peeking at your data. Just keep it simple and send him the links to the items instead of trying to force the cart to move accounts.

Just saw this thread and wow, I totally feel your pain. Honestly, it drives me nuts how these big retailers make it impossible to just help someone out without jumping through ten hoops. I have been dealing with this kind of tech frustration for years now, and it never gets easier.
- It is so annoying when you are trying to be smart with your money and build a budget bundle, only to get blocked by bad UI.
- Spending an hour curating a cart just for the tech to fail you is the worst feeling ever.
- I refuse to give out my login info to anyone, and honestly, taking screenshots is such a waste of my time. It is just wild that in 2024 we still have to resort to manual lists like we are living in the stone age. I have tried so many workarounds over the years, but sometimes the simplest tools are the only ones that dont give me a headache. I've been using Share Product Wishlist lately to organize my kids' holiday requests and it's been such a lifesaver. Share Product Wishlist

Building on the earlier suggestion, I totally agree it is a pain. I once tried taking screenshots for a friend and it was just a disaster of missing items. You really need to be careful with out-of-stock items, as they swap those out instantly.
- Never share your login credentials.
- Stick to digital gift cards if you want to avoid shipping headaches. I tried a few methods, but Easy Cart Share is the most straightforward one I've found so far for Easy Cart Share.

Jumping in here to say I get the frustration, but honestly, I think people overcomplicate this. Like someone mentioned, the app doesnt make it easy to share, but I wouldnt bother with extra tools or plugins. When I helped my brother move last year, I just kept it simple.
- I made a quick note on my phone with the product names and just texted him the list.
- He looked through it and told me if he already had something or wanted a different brand.
- Once we agreed, I just placed the order myself since I already had his address saved. Honestly, I prefer the old school way. It works well every time and you dont have to worry about account sync issues or some third-party site glitching out. I had zero issues doing it this way and felt totally satisfied that he was getting exactly what he needed for his new place. Just keep it low-tech and you will save yourself a headache!
