The original cross-device cart app for Shopify — since 2016

Shoppers switch devices constantly.On a default Shopify store, their cart doesn't follow.

A shopper fills a cart on their phone, opens your store on their laptop — empty. Persistent Cart keeps every signed-in cart on every device, automatically.

A few of the stores syncing carts with Persistent Cart.

The leak most owners never see

Your store probably drops a signed-in cart the moment a shopper switches devices.

On a default Shopify store, the cart lives in a browser cookie — not on the customer's account. So when a logged-in shopper adds items on their phone at lunch and opens your store on a laptop that night, the cart is empty. Most owners never see it happen, because nobody emails to say "my cart vanished." They just don't check out.

Default Shopify

The cart stays on one device

Phone cart and laptop cart are two separate carts. Switch device, lose the cart. No error, no email — just a smaller order or no order.

With Persistent Cart

The cart follows the customer

The signed-in cart syncs across phone, laptop, and return visits automatically — the same way the biggest retailers already work.

It's the difference between a cart that belongs to a browser and a cart that belongs to your customer.

9 in 10 people move between devices to get things done, and 88% of shoppers expect a consistent experience across devices and channels.Google/Ipsos, 2012 · Bazaarvoice Shopper Experience Index, Nov 2024

What you get

One-click setup — then it works silently in the background.

Recover carts you never knew you were losing

Every signed-in cart that used to vanish on a device switch now survives to checkout — carts your email flows never even saw, because the shopper never abandoned, they just changed screens.

Bigger orders, because carts keep growing

An uninterrupted cross-device cart accumulates. Shoppers add on mobile, add more on desktop, and check out once — instead of rebuilding a smaller cart from memory.

No interruptions for shoppers

No popups, no emails, no opt-ins, nothing for customers to do. It runs silently in the background — so quietly that merchants tell us they forget it's on.

How the biggest stores already do this

Amazon and Walmart keep a signed-in cart on every device. Shoppers expect yours to, too.

This isn't a nice-to-have feature — it's the baseline experience at the stores your customers shop most. Their own help pages say so:

Walmart
A Walmart account lets you "access your cart across multiple devices."
Amazon
"Items added to your Shopping Cart will be available from any compatible web browser or Amazon Mobile app that has been signed in to your account."
Phone
Laptop
A signed-in cart lives on the customer's account — reachable from any device — instead of on one browser.

In a merchant's words
Without the app, customers lose their shopping cart if they switch devices… This is NOT how all of the large online retailer websites function… the cart effectively stays with the Customer ACCOUNT rather than just the DEVICE.

Questions, answered

What merchants ask before installing.

Doesn't Shopify already sync carts across devices?

No. On a default Shopify store the cart is stored in a browser cookie, not on the customer's account — so a signed-in shopper's cart doesn't follow them to another device or browser. Shopify's own community confirms this needs custom code or an app. Persistent Cart is that fix.

Will my customers see popups or get emails?

No. By default Persistent Cart merges carts silently in the background — no popup, no email, no opt-in, nothing for the shopper to do. An optional "keep or combine" prompt is available if you'd rather let shoppers choose, but it's off by default.

Does it work for guests, or only logged-in customers?

It works for logged-in (identified) customers — that's what makes cross-device sync possible, because the cart can be tied to the account. Guests browsing without an account aren't tracked.

How hard is it to install?

One click to install from the Shopify App Store, then enable the app embed in your theme editor — no theme code, no developer. It starts working immediately.

Will it slow down my store?

It runs lightweight in the background and is Built for Shopify, which means it meets Shopify's performance and quality standards. Most merchants never notice it's running — which is the point.

How is this different from my abandoned-cart email app?

Those tools act after a cart is abandoned and only reach opted-in contacts. Persistent Cart acts before — it keeps the cart from disappearing when a signed-in shopper switches devices. They're complementary: use both.

How do I know it's worth it for my store?

Persistent Cart's dashboard shows the order value coming from transferred carts on your own store — measured, not estimated. For many stores that value runs to 1,000×+ what the subscription costs. Every plan starts with a free trial, so you see your store's own numbers before paying anything.

What does it do with my customers' data?

The minimum a cart sync needs. It works only for logged-in customers and stores the cart's contents against the customer's account for your store — nothing more than what a cart contains. Guests aren't tracked, no emails are sent, no consent prompts appear, and the data stays scoped to your store. We're Built for Shopify and follow Shopify's required data-protection flows.
