I totally feel your pain with that app, it drives me crazy how they dont have a native share feature yet! I was in your shoes last summer for a huge lake house trip and we were pulling our hair out trying to sync things. Honestly, the login sharing works but it can get messy with the cart updating weirdly and items disappearing. I started using Easy Cart Share and it was a total game changer for us! Basically, it lets you send your whole cart list over without messing with passwords or anything sketchy. Its seriously amazing and saved us hours of texting screenshots back and forth. You guys should definitely try that instead of the manual entry nightmare. It made our whole planning process so much smoother and less stressful... literally a lifesaver for big groups! Love it when stuff actually works like it should!

I have been doing this for years and it works well for my family. There is no official share button, but sharing your login is actually totally fine. We use the same account on three different phones all the time with no complaints.

• Log in on both phones
• Add items simultaneously
• Refresh the cart to see updates It is way faster than texting screenshots and we have never had account issues.

I am literally dealing with this exact same headache right now for a trip next week. Honestly its ridiculous that in 2024 these massive retail giants havent implemented a basic collaborative cart feature yet. I’ve been digging into the technical side of their app structure trying to find a workaround, and it's just a mess. It feels like they’re using ancient legacy code that won’t support real-time session syncing, which is just lazy for a company this size. It drives me crazy because prices are already through the roof—I was comparing my receipt from two years ago and it’s basically a 30% jump on staples—and yet the user experience is actually getting worse. We are paying more and getting less functionality. I spent way too much time yesterday trying to see if I could at least sync a grocery list via a third-party API, but their ecosystem is so closed off it’s impossible. The sheer lack of care for the user's time is what gets me. We're out here trying to manage family logistics and they're making it a part-time job just to buy bread and milk. It’s such a scam that they prioritize their ad tracking and data mining over actually making the shopping experience seamless. I feel your frustration 100%... its just a total disappointment all around.

Saw this thread earlier but just getting back to it now. Honestly, I have tried many ways to handle big group trips over the years and while some people swear by sharing logins, I have seen it backfire way too often to recommend it. Like someone mentioned, those security flags are real and it is just stressful when you are on a deadline. Walmart is really trailing behind other brands on this... I mean, Amazon and even Instacart have had collaborative features forever. I think I heard someone say they are finally testing a shared cart beta for some Plus members in specific regions? I am not 100 percent sure on that though, so you might wanna check your account settings just in case you got lucky with the rollout.

• If you are worried about that 300 dollar budget, maybe try PriceDropCatch to see if any of those bulk items go on sale before you actually hit buy.
• Otherwise, sticking to a shared notes app like Google Keep might be less of a headache than fighting the app sync. I really hope you get it sorted before the Friday traffic hits... group shopping is always a nightmare even when the tech actually works.

Coming back to this... @Reply #2 - good point! Honestly, I really have to disagree with the folks suggesting you just share your login details. In my experience, that is just a recipe for disaster. Ive been doing these large-scale grocery pickups for years and sharing credentials is the fastest way to get your account locked or end up with missing items because the app sync just fails. You really need to be cautious about the reliability here:

• Walmart often flags multiple logins from different locations as suspicious
• Cart items can vanish if two people hit save at the same time
• Having your payment info accessible on another device is a huge risk I would strictly avoid the shared login route. Using a dedicated extension for sharing the cart is way safer and keeps your session stable. Its better to spend five minutes setting that up than spending an hour on the phone with customer service because your account got frozen right before the weekend... keep it safe and stick to a proper tool.
