With the WooCommerce save and share cart for later plugin, you let the users continue to the checkout with their selection anytime without losing any cart item. This save and share cart also allows the users to share their cart through various social media platforms or a direct link. 
The customer can not only view the cart from their account page and share it on social platforms, but they can also manage it. From viewing, deleting, and restoring for checkout purposes, the user gets complete control over the cart.
Similarly, the admin can view and manage the cart as well as delete any cart whenever it is required. It also gives options to customize the message, save, and share cart buttons for successful branding. 
<h3>Save Cart for Later</h3>
One of the features your customer gets with the save and share cart for later plugin is saving the cart for later checkouts. The customer can come back to their carts at any time without losing any of the items they have added to the cart. For any proceeding, the customer can access their saved cart from the “My Account” page, which is a gateway to managing multiple sessions. The customer also gets complete control over the saved cart, where they can view cart details, delete any cart, and restore to proceed to checkout.

<h3>Share Cart Through Social Media Platforms</h3>
To let the customers have a group shopping experience, the save and share cart allows sharing of the carts through social platforms. These platforms include Facebook, Gmail, Twitter, and WhatsApp and a unique link. Furthermore, the person with whom the cart is being shared can make a purchase. The save and share cart for WooCommerce is ideal for customers who are looking for group shopping, gift buying, or business approvals.

<h3>Saved Carts That Admins Can Track</h3>
The carts saved for later by the customers are not only manageable for the customers themselves, but they are also trackable for the store admins. This feature gives the admins complete control over the web user’s activity by enabling them to view saved cart details and delete one where required. With a trackable feature on saved carts for the admin, you can manage the abandoned carts well without the products being occupied.

<h3>Extensive Custimization Options</h3>
To have the saved cart and share cart options in sync with your entire website design and layout, store admins get extensive customization options. To stay coherent, admins can customize the text, text color, and background color of both the save cart and share cart buttons. Furthermore, admins can set a customized message with share and save cart buttons alongside configuring the text, icon, and background color for the social sharing buttons.
