Methods and systems for sharing an online shopping cart
A computer-implemented method of sharing an online shopping cart over a computer network includes the steps of providing an electronic address of a sharee, the sharee being a person with whom the shopping cart is shared. One of a plurality of predetermined roles may be specified for each sharee, each of the plurality of roles defining privileges granted to the sharee. A password may be assigned for the shopping cart and a unique cart number and a unique sharee number may be generated and stored in a database. An electronic message, such as an email, may then be sent to the sharees' electronic addresses, the electronic message including at least the cart number, the cart password and the sharee number. The sharee may then retrieve the saved shopping cart over the computer network by supplying the cart number, the cart password and the sharee number sent in the email. The sharee may then exercise only those privileges defined by the role specified for the sharee. The roles may include, for example, “Read-Only”, in which the privileges granted consist of viewing the shopping cart, “Feedback”, in which the privileges granted consist of viewing and including comments on the shopping cart, and/or “All”, in which the privileges granted include viewing, including comments, changing and canceling the shopping cart.
