Share Cart and Save Cart for Later for WooCommerce by LeanPlugins

They click the "Share Cart" button on the cart page. The plugin generates a unique share cart URL they can copy and send via email, chat, or social media. Anyone opening the link gets the exact same cart loaded.

Yes. Logged-in customers click "Save Cart", give the cart a custom name, and it appears under My Account → Saved Carts where they can restore it with one click at any time.

Yes. Product variations (size, color, etc.) and quantities are preserved exactly as the sharer selected them, both on shared links and saved carts.

Yes. Options a shopper picks with add-on plugins (engraving text, gift wrap, sizes, extra fees) are saved with the shared or saved cart and come back at the right price. Tested with PPOM, Advanced Product Fields, Extra Product Options (ThemeHigh) and Product Addons (Acowebs). Developers can fine-tune what is saved with two filters: lean_csns_cart_item_data_to_save and lean_csns_cart_item_data_to_restore.

Yes. They work independently. The Button Position setting controls the automatic buttons on the cart page, and [lean_cart_share_save] renders wherever you place it. If you put the shortcode on the cart page itself, you will see the buttons twice, so set Button Position to "Use shortcode" there to keep only your manual placement.

Yes, this plugin is built specifically for WooCommerce and requires WooCommerce to be installed and activated.

By default, shared cart links never expire, but you can configure an expiry (in days) in the plugin settings if you want links to stop working after a set time.

Yes! Any user can share a cart, including guest users who haven't created an account.

No, saving carts requires users to be logged in. However, guest users can still share carts via URLs.

If a shared or saved cart contains products that are no longer available or purchasable, those items are automatically skipped during cart restoration.

No, the plugin is designed to be lightweight and only loads assets when needed. It uses efficient database queries and follows WordPress best practices.

Yes! The plugin fully supports both classic WooCommerce themes and modern FSE themes using WooCommerce Cart Blocks. The buttons automatically appear in both classic and block cart pages.

The plugin uses standard WooCommerce styling by default. You can customize the appearance using CSS by targeting the .lean-csns-buttons-wrapper class.

Yes, the plugin is fully translation ready with the text domain 'lean-cart-share-and-save'.

The plugin stores product IDs, quantities, variations, product options added by other plugins (such as engraving text), applied coupons, and basic details like creation dates. Shared carts don't store who the shopper is, but any text a shopper types into a product option is saved with the link.

Go to Settings → Permalinks in your WordPress admin and click "Save Changes" (no need to change anything). This refreshes WordPress URL rules.
