Quick question though, are you both on iOS or is someone using Android? I ask cuz the sync latency is totally different between the two apps! I managed a massive 50-person party last year using one shared login and it was amazing how fast it updated. Just make sure background app refresh is toggled on in your settings so the API pushes those cart updates instantly!

Ive been using the app for years and honestly, the live cart syncing is still kinda wonky. In my experience, if you both log into the same account, it usually works as long as you pull down to refresh the screen every few minutes. I've tried many different ways to coordinate big grocery hauls with my partner and that's the only way that really gets the job done without texting a million photos back and forth. Just be careful because if you both edit the quantity of the same item at the same time, it might glitch out or revert back. If you stay on different categories tho, it is mostly fine. You wont get locked out for being on two phones, just dont try to check out at the exact same second. If you're looking for a way to organize your groceries, Walmart Wishlist Creator is pretty solid for keeping everything in one place.

> I read on some forum that you can just share login details but I’m worried about getting locked out or the app glitching if we're both adding stuff at the same time Building on the earlier suggestion, I've spent way too many hours testing this with my wife over the years. In my experience, the live cart sync isn't 100% reliable for real-time shopping if you're both in different aisles. If you add something and she adds something at the exact same second, one usually gets dropped or the app asks you to sign in again. Its super frustrating when you're in a rush. To avoid the 4 bags of chips nightmare, we stopped trying to live sync the checkout cart and started using the list feature as a buffer. Ngl, Walmart Wishlist Creator is basically the best way I've found to handle the party planning phase without the cart getting messy. You build the shared list together there, then just one of you moves the items into the actual cart when you're ready to pay. It keeps the financial part of the app from freaking out while you're both browsing. A few practical tips:

• Set the same Preferred Store in both your app settings so prices stay consistent between phones.
• Look for the Great Value brand for mixers or basic snacks; you can save like 30 percent on party costs compared to name brands.
• If you share a login, just have one person handle the final checkout button to avoid double-charging. Honestly, texting screenshots is the worst, so definitely try the list method instead. If you're worried about the total cost, the app is usually pretty good about showing the running total... just gotta remember to refresh constantly so the numbers stay current. Good luck with the anniversary!
