So I have been using the Walmart app for years now literally since the grocery pickup service first launched in my area and I consider myself a total pro at navigating the UI and hitting those reserved time slots early in the morning. I am super hyped because I am finally hosting the annual family lake house trip in the Ozarks next weekend and we have about twelve people coming up from all over the state. Usually I just handle all the shopping myself but this time the budget is looking like it might hit over 500 dollars with all the steaks and snacks and beer so I really want everyone to just hop in and add what they want directly. It would save me so much stress of checking my texts every five minutes to see who wants what kind of chips or if someone needs a specific brand of sunscreen or some obscure keto snack I have never heard of.

I was looking through the account settings and the share list options but I cannot for the life of me figure out if there is a way to make it a live collaborative thing where my friends can just log in or use a link to add items directly to my active shopping cart before I hit the checkout button for the scheduled pickup on Friday morning. I know you can share a list but that is not the same as the actual cart that is synced for a specific store location and stock levels. Like can I just give them a link and have it populate in my session? Or do I have to keep doing the old school way of copying and pasting their requests into the search bar one by one which is honestly such a buzzkill when I am trying to get everything organized and stay on top of the inventory. Is there some hidden feature or maybe a workaround using the registry function or something similar that lets multiple users build one single pickup order together in real time?
