Shareable Box URLs is a Pro feature. Upgrade to BoxBuilder Pro →
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
boxbuilder_share parameter triggers the builder to load with the shared configuration.
