One cart is the wrong container for gift shopping

· cart, merchandising

Shopify gives every shopper one cart. That is correct for a single purchase and awkward for everything else. Someone buying a gift does not want the gift in the same bag as their own restock. A trade customer quoting two jobs does not want those lines mixed.

Cartify lets a signed-in customer keep more than one cart, name them, switch, and share. The share is the part that replaces the “here are twelve product links” message.

It is free on the App Store. There is no paid plan to discover after install. It also does not invent a second cart for guests: the customer has to be logged in, because the carts are theirs.

Turn it on beside your current cart carefully. Two drawers on one product page is worse than one cart. Pick the drawer you want shoppers to use, then test a share link while logged out. The recipient should see the cart, not an empty page.
