CS-Cart Cart Share Add-on: Share Carts by Link

Cart Share addon for CS-Cart allows customers to easily share their shopping cart with other customers, friends, and others through email.

The CS-Cart Cart Share Add-on lets customers share the contents of their shopping cart with friends, colleagues, or other shoppers by sending a share link over email, including to several recipients at once. This solves a common problem in collaborative or group buying, where one person builds a cart and needs others to see the exact same set of products without rebuilding it manually. Administrators keep control by setting how long each share link stays active, after which the shared cart products can be removed automatically through a cron job. It is aimed at CS-Cart store owners, including those on CS-Cart Multi-Vendor, who want to make it easier for customers to collaborate on carts.
