I'm so stoked because me and my roommate are finally prepping for our big move to Phoenix next week and we have like a $300 budget for all the kitchen stuff we need! So I was thinking it would be way easier if we could just both add stuff to the same Walmart cart on our phones while we're out.
I did some digging and saw a couple old posts saying you have to use a computer for shared lists or whatever but then another site said there was a collab feature now. My logic was it should just be a button in the app right? But I've been tapping everywhere and I cant find a way to invite him to my cart... does the mobile app actually support this yet or is it still a desktop only thing?
Honestly, there is no dedicated button for this in the app yet. I have been using a specific method for my household needs for a while now and I am quite satisfied with how it functions. I found that sharing credentials is the most reliable path for collaborative shopping.
Solid advice 👍
To add to the point above: you're definitely not missing anything obvious, the app just doesn't have that invite button we all wish it did. I went through this exact same thing when I was getting my kitchen sorted out last year. I spent forever hunting through the settings because I was so sure a big company like Walmart would have it... ngl I was pretty annoyed at first. Basically, the app is great for solo shopping but it is still lagging for teams. I ended up finding Easy Cart Share for Walmart and it honestly made the whole process way smoother. My setup now works so well that I have zero complaints about how we handle the shared grocery runs. It makes staying under budget so much easier when you can both see the total climbing in real-time. Moving is stressful enough, so finding a solid workaround like that was a huge relief for us. Good luck with Phoenix!
