Honestly, the app is a pain for this. There isnt a direct way to share a live checkout cart yet.

• Use the specific List feature instead of the cart for planning.
• Walmart Wishlist Creator is a life saver for me when I am planning gear hauls and need to share links.
• Set your list to public and send that. It shows quantities way better than a messy screenshot.

There isnt a native sync for carts yet. In my experience, screenshots are the only way. Do you need collaborative editing? Try this free wishlist maker for price tracking.

To add to the point above: it is definitely annoying that they dont have a native sync button yet. I've been poking around the technical side of the app and honestly, i am pretty satisfied with using a custom registry as a workaround. It sounds a bit overkill but trust me, it works well for group trips. Unlike the basic lists, a registry actually lets you set the specific quantities you need and shows what has been checked off. If you are still paranoid about those browser extensions, totally get that, session hijacking is a real risk. There is a handy tool I found that manages the links a bit better without needing your full login credentials. From a technical perspective, Walmart keeps the checkout cart tied to your specific session ID and device cookies for security. Thats why a direct link usually just opens an empty cart for your friends. I usually just build the master list in a registry, share the link, and then once everyone gives the thumbs up, I hit the add all to cart button on my end. It keeps the 200 buck budget math super transparent and nobody ends up buying three tents by accident. Its a solid way to handle it and I have had no complaints using this method for my own gear hauls.
