Picture this scenario (we know you've been there):
Email from customer:
"Hi, I'm trying to checkout but I can't see the Klarna payment option. Can you help? My cart is ready at yourstore.com/cart"
Your support team's challenge:
Can't see what's in their cart
Don't know the cart value (Klarna might have limits)
Can't verify if they're on the right checkout page
Have to ask multiple questions before helping
Or this common B2B scenario:
Email from business customer:
"We'd like a quote for bulk pricing. We've added everything we need to our cart: yourstore.com/cart"
Your sales team scrambles:
"Could you list the items and quantities?"
"Which shipping option did you select?"
"Are these the Pro or Standard versions?"
Hours of back-and-forth emails later, you finally understand their request.
Sound familiar? This back-and-forth wastes precious time and frustrates both customers and support teams. We knew there had to be a better way.
While our cart widget has been helping merchants on the cart page, we recognized a critical gap: what happens when customers reach out via email, chat, or phone?
Starting today, every cart URL automatically includes a unique Cart Whisper ID:
Before: https://yourstore.com/cart
After: https://yourstore.com/cart?cartwhisperid=85301
This is perfect for scenarios where the widget isn't available or applicable:
📧 Email Support:
"Hey, I'm trying to use Klarna but can't see it at checkout. Here's my cart: yourstore.com/cart?cartwhisperid=85301"
"Can I get a bulk discount quote? My cart: yourstore.com/cart?cartwhisperid=85301"
💬 Live Chat:
Customers sharing their cart link when asking about shipping costs
Questions about product availability or alternatives
🏢 B2B Scenarios:
Purchase order requests with pre-built carts
Approval workflows where managers need to review carts
Sales teams following up on abandoned high-value carts
When customers share their cart link (which they do naturally when asking for help), you can now instantly see exactly what they see, even when they're not on the cart page or when you're not using the widget.
Here's what our beta merchants are saying:
"We've cut our average support response time by 75%. When a customer says 'my cart isn't working' and sends the link, we can see the issue immediately. It's like having X-ray vision!"
- TechGear Plus
"Our B2B customers love it. They prepare their carts and email us the link saying 'please convert this to a PO.' One click and we see everything. Game-changer!"
- Wholesale Supply Co.
