Cartlet gives every WooCommerce cart a short link, a QR code and a home in My Account – then shows you which shared carts got opened, saved and restored.
Cartlet brings it back. Watch how shoppers share and save carts, and how you send ready-made carts as links.
Open a Cartlet link and you get a clean preview with today's prices and stock. They can add everything, or pick just the items they want – then merge with or replace their own cart.
"Everything for the cabin weekend – grab what you need!"
Prices refresh when the link opens. Changes are marked, unavailable items flagged – no awkward surprises at checkout.
Recipients choose exactly what to take. Variations, grouped and downloadable products are all supported.
Their existing cart isn't wiped unless they want it to be.
Out-of-stock item in a shared or saved cart? Shoppers can ask to be emailed when it returns.
No trial, no locked tabs. The free version is a complete plugin – Pro will only add to it.

Plugins → Add New → search “Cartlet”. Activate – Share and Save buttons appear below the cart right away.

Simple, variable, grouped, virtual and downloadable products. Extra item data from other plugins is kept via the cartlet_capture_item_data and cartlet_restore_item_data filters.
Not by default. Cloudflare Turnstile is only used if you add your own keys in Settings → Advanced. Share buttons are plain links that do nothing until clicked.
Cartlet handles sharing, saving, merchant links and metrics. Pro – coming soon – adds revenue attribution, private links, price-lock quotes, reminder emails, B2B approvals and webhooks.
Anyone with the link sees today's prices and can add the items.
QR codes are generated right in the browser and download as PNG.
Give it a name – it'll be waiting in My Account → Saved carts.
In the real plugin, guests get a private link by email and logged-in shoppers see it on every device.
