A share cart allows you to create a customised cart containing over-the-counter (OTC) items, prescription products, service fees, or other charges, which you can then send directly to a customer via SMS or email for payment.
Share carts can be sent as either a payment link only or as a cart with delivery options. If delivery is included, customers can choose between click and collect or a delivery method such as Australia Post or DoorDash. Once the cart is paid for, the order will automatically appear in SparrowSend, ready for processing.
