Advanced Cart

The Advanced Cart Premium Plugin for Shopware allows shopping carts to be saved for extended lengths of time. These shopping carts can be viewed as "Wishlists" in the "My account" area and listed as either private or as public, allowing others to see them via direct link regardless of whether they are registered in your shop. In addition, these wishlists can be sent to friends via email, or shared on Facebook, Google or Twitter. Shared shopping carts can then be taken over with a single click, or alternatively individual items can also be selected.
