Share Cart and Save Cart for Later for WooCommerce by LeanPlugins

Share cart in one click and save cart for later.

Shoppers often leave a full cart because they aren’t ready yet, or need someone else to say yes. Lean Cart Share & Save keeps that WooCommerce cart alive, so “later” still ends in a sale:

• Share cart with a link: one click creates a unique URL that loads the exact cart contents on any device. Works for everyone, including guests.
• Save cart for later: logged-in users save unlimited carts with custom names, like “Birthday Wishlist” or “Monthly Reorder”, ready for later purchase.
• Restore in one click: saved carts wait in My Account → Saved Carts, where customers restore or delete them anytime.
• Custom and personalized products: shared and saved carts keep every option the shopper picked, like engraving text, gift wrap or print sizes, at the right price.
• Fewer abandoned carts: shoppers who aren’t ready to buy save for later instead of leaving, which cuts cart abandonment.
• Cross-device shopping: start on mobile, finish on desktop, no need to rebuild the cart.
• Approval and product recommendations: send a share cart link to a partner, a manager or a client to get a yes. Natural product sharing, no screenshots.
• Lightweight: works with classic themes and modern FSE Cart Blocks.

Shortcode:

Place the buttons anywhere on your website: any page, post, widget, page builder (Elementor, Divi, etc.) or anywhere in WordPress that renders shortcodes.

To show buttons only where you place the shortcode, set Button Position to “Use shortcode” in the plugin settings.
