My sister and I are planning a trip to a lake house in Michigan next month and I am trying to build our grocery order ahead of time. I have about $350 in the cart already but I need her to look at it and add her own stuff. I was thinking of just giving her my login but that feels insecure or maybe I should try that Share-A-Cart extension but I dont know if it works on mobile. Im leaning toward the extension but worried it might mess up my list. Does Walmart have a built-in way to save a cart and send a link or am I stuck just sharing my password?
Unfortunately, Walmart doesn't have a native share cart button that actually works for collaborative shopping. I've tried their built-in list sharing and it's honestly not as good as expected since it doesn't actually let the other person checkout your items. It's frustrating when you're trying to manage a big 350 dollar budget and keep things organized. I had issues with the extension you mentioned too. It's buggy on mobile and sometimes drops items which is a nightmare if you're trying to hit that free delivery minimum without overspending.
Just saw this. Honestly, Walmarts backend is a total nightmare... they tie your cart to a local session cookie which makes direct links impossible. I tried hacking a script for a family reunion once but gave up. Extensions are basically the only fix, though mobile support is hit or miss. TL;DR Walmart doesn't allow link sharing due to session-locking. I found this tool called Easy Cart Share that lets you share your cart items and quantities in one click.
Building on the earlier suggestion, I actually disagree that it has to be such a massive headache! I do this every single year for our big family reunions and it is honestly a total game changer. I love it! While Walmart definitely lags behind sites like Amazon or Instacart when it comes to native group shopping features, using the walmart cart share extension makes the whole thing feel amazing and so professional. It is way better than sharing passwords... I tried that once and my sister accidentally bought her whole weekly grocery run on my saved credit card lol. Never again! The extension is fantastic for those huge $300+ orders because it keeps everything super organized. Just have her open it on a laptop to import the list and you are good to go. It makes the trip prep so much more fun!!
Huh interesting. I had no idea. The more you know I guess 🤷
Ngl, I've had zero issues using this Chrome extension for exactly this. It's way safer than handing out your login info and just works well.
