How to Share Your Cart
If you’ve already found the products you need, Share Cart makes it easy to send those items to a teammate or purchasing contact. Instead of rebuilding the cart manually, you can share it directly so someone else can review so you can get the items you need faster.
Watch the short walkthrough, then follow the steps below.
When to Use Share Cart
- You want to send your selected items to a teammate for review
- You found the products you need and need someone else to purchase
- You want to make it easier for other teams to purchase
How Share Cart Works
You can share your cart from the cart page or cart overlay. Chamfr lets you either email the cart directly from the platform or copy a shareable link. When the recipient opens that shared cart, they can choose to add the items to what they already have in their cart or replace their cart.
