Shop wherever you usually shop, and Basket will be there to help.

Sharing to the Basket app on iOS

  1. Find the Share Icon

    When shopping in an app (like Amazon or ASOS) or a browser (like Safari or Chrome), find the share icon. This is the same icon you use to send links to friends.


  2. Share to Basket
    Look for Basket in the list of apps. If you don’t see it, scroll right and tap "More". Basket will appear higher in the list the more you use it. You can also change the order of your apps.


  3. (Optional) Organise Your Items
    If you've already created some baskets, tap the "Organise" button after sharing to select a basket to save to. If you don’t choose one, the item will be saved to Quick Saves.

💪 Pro tip - Edit your favourite apps in the Share Menu

This step ensures that Basket always shows up when you hit share.
