What can I save to Basket?

You can save items from just about anywhere online to Basket. We’re compatible with hundreds of thousands of ecommerce stores and shopping apps. All you need to do is ‘share’ the product to the Basket app, in much the same way as you’d share something you found online to a friend via WhatsApp say. When the product you’ve shared includes a title, image and price we’ll add that to Basket too, if there are multiple images we’ll add as many as we can.

We like to think of Basket as being the perfect visual bookmarking tool for shopping, in some cases there might not be a price available, let’s say you’re wanting to save a new article about a soon to be released product. Try sharing this page to Basket and we’ll grab the image and the title for you for ease of later reference.

The key thing is that if you can share what you’re looking at, you can save it to Basket. Let’s look at each platform separately:

  1. Once you’ve found something you’d like to save to Basket on the web, make sure you’re on the actual product detail page where it tells you the price etc.
  2. In Safari there’s a share icon in the middle of the bottom of the screen, tap that.
  1. Tapping the share icon brings up a selection of sharing options, this will look slightly different to everybody depending on what apps and other things you have installed on your phone.
  2. You need to find and tap the Basket icon, once you’ve done that the product will be saved in your Basket account. All done.
