Someone sent you a cart link? Here's what happens
Someone built a shopping cart and sent it to you as a BuyMeGift link. Opening it is safe: the page only shows the cart's contents, and any payment happens on the store itself — never on BuyMeGift.
Step by step
Open the link (or enter the code)
The link opens a cart preview on buymegift.com showing the products, quantities, and estimated prices. If you only got a short code, enter it on the receive page.
Review what's inside
Check items, sizes, and quantities. Nothing is bought, reserved, or charged at this point — it's just a list.
Click “Add to store cart”
With the free extension installed, one click rebuilds the same products in your own cart on the store's website. No extension? Open the products manually from the preview.
Check out on the store, as always
Payment, delivery, coupons, and returns all happen on the store's own site with your own account. BuyMeGift never takes payment and never sees your card.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to open a shared cart link?
Yes. The shared cart page is a read-only preview. It doesn't log you in anywhere, doesn't charge anything, and payment only ever happens on the store's own website.
Do I need an account or the extension?
No account, ever. The free extension is only needed for the one-click rebuild into your store cart — otherwise add the products manually.
The link says the cart has expired — what now?
Shared carts are short-lived (30 minutes by default). Ask the sender to share the cart again — it takes a few seconds.
Have a cart code? →Ready to share your first cart?
The free BuyMeGift extension captures your cart and turns it into one link anyone can open.
