Lean Plugins

Give customers the power to save and share their shopping carts. Lean Cart Share and Save makes shopping flexible, anyone can generate shareable cart links in one click, and logged-in users can save unlimited carts with custom names for later purchase.
Share feature works for everyone, including guests. One click creates a unique URL that loads the exact cart anywhere, on any device. Perfect for cross-device shopping, getting approval from others, or sharing product recommendations. Logged-in customers can save carts with custom names (like “Birthday Wishlist” or “Monthly Reorder”), viewable in My Account → Saved Carts where they can restore or delete them anytime.
Lightweight, works with classic themes and modern FSE Cart Blocks, and helps reduce cart abandonment while enabling natural product sharing.
