Description
WooCommerce 10.0 introduced Shareable Checkout URLs — but there is no customer-facing button for shoppers to share their own cart. AutoraLab Cart Share for WooCommerce fills that gap.
This plugin adds a Share Cart button to your cart page. When a customer clicks it, a popup lets them:
- Copy the link to the clipboard and paste it anywhere.
- Share on social media — Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Pinterest, Reddit, Email, SMS, Threads, Viber, or Snapchat.
When someone opens the shared link, the same products, quantities, and coupons are automatically added to their cart.
WooCommerce 10.0+ Integration
On WooCommerce 10.0 and newer, shared links use the native /checkout-link/ endpoint so recipients go straight to checkout — fewer steps, better conversions. On older WooCommerce versions, the plugin handles cart restoration itself with a seamless fallback.
You can control the destination (Checkout, Cart, or Auto) under WooCommerce Settings Cart Share.
Features
- Works with both the classic (shortcode) cart and the WooCommerce Cart block.
- 12 social media platforms — Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Telegram, Pinterest, Reddit, Email, SMS, Threads, Viber, and Snapchat. Enable or disable each from the settings.
- Admin Link Generator — Build shareable cart links from the admin panel by selecting products, quantities, and coupons (WooCommerce Settings Cart Share Link Generator).
- WooCommerce 10.0+ native integration — uses checkout-link URLs automatically.
- Lightweight — no external API calls, no database tables.
- Fully translatable and accessible (WCAG 2.1 AA).
- Supports WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage).
- Admin settings under WooCommerce Settings Cart Share to enable/disable social platforms and set link destination.
- Developer-friendly with filters and an extensible provider architecture.
Requirements
- WordPress 6.0 or higher
- WooCommerce 8.0 or higher (10.0+ recommended for native checkout-link support)
- PHP 7.4 or higher

FAQ
-
Does this work with the block-based cart?
-
Yes. The plugin detects whether your cart page uses the WooCommerce Cart block or the classic shortcode and adapts automatically.
-
WooCommerce 10.0 added a native
/checkout-link/endpoint that merchants can use to manually create pre-filled checkout URLs. However, WooCommerce does not provide a customer-facing share button or social media popup. This plugin adds that missing UI: a one-click Share Cart button with social sharing that automatically generates the right URL format. -
Yes. Use the
ShareProviderFactory::register()method to register a class that implements theShareProviderinterface. -
Nowhere — the product IDs, quantities, and coupon codes are encoded directly in the URL query string. No extra database tables are created.
-
Yes. Under WooCommerce Settings Cart Share, the “Link destination” setting lets you choose Auto (recommended), Checkout, or Cart. Auto uses WooCommerce’s native checkout-link on WC 10.0+ and falls back to cart on older versions.
