Shareable Box URLs is a Pro feature. Upgrade to BoxBuilder Pro →
BoxBuilder Pro lets customers share their box configuration with others via a unique URL. The recipient opens the link and sees the box pre-filled with the shared selections.

How It Works

1

Customer builds a box

The customer adds items to their box as usual.
2

Click Share

A Share button in the box summary generates a unique URL.
3

Send the link

The customer copies the URL and sends it to someone (email, messaging, social media).
4

Recipient opens the link

The recipient visits the URL. The box builder loads with all the shared items pre-selected.
5

Recipient can modify and purchase

The recipient can keep the box as-is, modify it, add a gift message, and add it to their own cart.

Use Cases

  • Gift registries: “Here’s the box I’d love — buy it for me!”
  • Recommendations: “I made this chocolate selection for you, try it!”
  • Team orders: “Fill your box like mine” — for corporate or group gifts
  • Social sharing: Share curated boxes on social media

Technical Details

  • Share links use a unique 12-character key
  • Shared box data is stored as a WordPress transient with a 30-day expiry
  • After 30 days, the link expires and shows a “this shared box has expired” message
  • Share links are read-only — the original sharer’s box is not affected by changes the recipient makes

Share URL Format

The boxbuilder_share parameter triggers the builder to load with the shared configuration.
