Price Drop alerts
Never miss a deal again. Basket tracks the prices of all the items saved in your Baskets - multiple times a day! When we find a price drop, we'll let you know about it.

🔁 Organising Your Basket
To move or delete items:
- Swipe left to delete
- Swipe right to move items into another Basket
You can even select multiple items to manage faster.

How to organise and re-organise items?
You may have items that are sitting in your 'Quick Saves' from times that you were in a rush or wanted to organise later - simply swipe right on these items. You'll see this purple tile with a Basket, tap that and choose the desired Basket from the pull up sheet. You can also use this same action on items in your created Baskets, if you want to move things around a bit.

What are 'Quick Saves'?
'Quick Saves' is the safe place where your items go when you're not quite ready to organise them into a particular Basket yet - but you don't want to loose them. When you open the Basket app you have two areas to choose from. Area one with the 'lightening bolt' at the bottom is the 'Quick Saves' area and the next area with the 'Basket' symbol at the bottom is where your 'Baskets' are.

How to submit feedback?
Feedback is our greatest way to connect with our users, fix bugs and hear what other features you'd love to see on Basket (we can probably do it!). Simply head to 'Settings' in the Basket app and choose 'Submit Feedback'. We'll be right on it, and glad to hear from you!

Back In Stock Notifications
Stay up to date effortlessly with the items in your Baskets that have come back in stock. Just make sure your notifications are turned on! You'll also notice this little green trolley icon next to any item that has returned.

Total Savings
Basket keeps track of savings from all the price drops that are happening in your Basket!

Total Values
Basket tallies up the total cost of all the items in your Basket, so you know exactly how much a project, outfit, occasion etc will cost - to help you stay on top and budget like a boss.

Basket on Desktop!
Don't think you're restricted to experiencing the best way to shop just to your phone - we have an extension for that desktop lovin'!
Once you have selected Basket from the Chrome Webstore it's best to tap the 'puzzle' icon near your address bar, this will show you all of your Chrome Extensions - simply click the 'pin' icon so that Basket stays just one click away whenever you find an item that belongs in your Basket.

How does Basket make money?
You might be thinking... how can Basket be a free app? Well - with every item your 'Basket' a link is created between that retailer and Basket. So when you hit 'Shop' on an item from one of your baskets and then purchase that item from that retailer, we get a small commission.
How to follow another users Basket?
You can now follow other users Baskets! When you see or have been sent a link to another Basket, you can follow it and stay up to date with everything that user is adding. Also, people can follow your Baskets - follow and share your inspiration!
