Hiya fellow product hunters, welcome to Carrot’s beta, you can download the extension at https://www.addtocarrot.com For some people, shopping online is easy. But for most of us, it’s kind of a mess. You start carts, then forget where they are. You send yourself emails or texts with links to products you want to buy, then lose track of those too. You keep a million tabs open while you’re looking for something (the perfect sweater, an ergonomic office chair, home decor that pops...), and if even just one of them gets closed before you’re ready to buy, it’s a disaster. 🥴 We built Carrot to make this problem go away. It’s a free extension that works across 500,000+ stores, from big-name brands like Etsy and Target to gems you haven’t discovered yet — and it’s guaranteed to make shopping less stressful and more fun. *** Here’s 8 things Carrot can do for you right now *** 1. Carrot finds your open carts from all around the web. It happens as soon as you install the extension, and it’s pretty much magic. Can you remember all the carts you’ve started? We can’t either. But then Carrot does its cart-finding thing, and just like that, all your carts are in one place. (Oh right, those sneakers!) 🛒 2. Then, it automatically collects your carts as you shop. We repeat: automatically. The way it works is simple: You add products to your cart, your cart is saved to Carrot. Which means you never have to worry about losing things from your carts ever again. 🛍 3. Saving for later is simple. Carrot is also perfect for saving products you aren’t quite ready to add to cart right now, but want to keep an eye on for later. Stumbled across something you love? Just right-click to add it to Carrot. ✅ 4. Returning to carts is a snap. How many times have you finally decided to pull the trigger on a purchase, then had trouble finding your way back to the site? With Carrot, everything you want is saved right there in the extension — so checkout is always just one click away. 🤩 5. You can organize products and carts into collections. And you can use those collections for anything. Window shopping for the future. Collaborating on home projects with your partner. Travel shopping. Wish lists. Gift lists. With Carrot, creating groups of products is easy — no spreadsheet gymnastics required. Any collection can also be converted into a gift-able registry that you can share with family and friends. 🙌 6. Shareable links make it simple to get input from family and friends. You know who likes getting sent a million different screenshots of products? No one. But asking people for their opinion is one of the most important parts of shopping, and with links to carts and collections, you can send everything you’re wondering about at once, with just one link. 🔗 7. Comparing products has never been easier. Carrot puts products from all around the web into a single, beautiful feed. With all your carts in the same place, it’s so easy to compare products visually and by price. 💄 8. Get alerted to price drops without lifting a finger. Carrot knows the products you want to buy and will alert you to meaningful drops in price the moment it detects one. This price drop will find you, you won’t need to do a thing. 💸 We made Carrot because we love the hunt for great products and we love to shop. If you’re like us, we think you’ll really enjoy using Carrot with us. We look forward to seeing you in the product. Finally, a big thank you to @chrismessina for hunting Carrot for us, today. 🥕🥰

I love the idea of a universal shopping cart built in the browser...! Connect this to crypto checkout and it's a homerun! 🥕
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@chrismessina damn, cryptocart.com is taken! but you may be on to something ;-)

Carrot works like a dream. We have weirdly been using it for all kinds of other stuff, not just your typical online purchases. For example, we created our very own vacation curation with a few places we want to try out next year – super awesome.
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@jonny_lander You're not alone on this one. We've seen some very creative usages of Carrot beyond just shopping for products. Maybe we'll start looking into price drop notifications on vacation rentals and destinations as well!
Amy Ramsden
The comparing products feature is the best thing for me! So much easier than visiting loads of individual websites and keeping lots of tabs open. Stress free purchasing
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@amy_ramsden the more tabs you close, the faster your computer gets!
Bobby Ghoshal
@amy_ramsden Hi Amy, thank you for sharing your experience with the PH community :) so glad to have you as a user
Carter Reum
absolutely LOVE! No more multiple windows open, forgetting stuff in cart and all the other hassles. It was so helpful to share lists with my wife around our wedding and as we plan to decorate our new house!
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@carter_reum1 Congratulations! Glad Carrot is proving helpful
Bobby Ghoshal
@carter_reum1 Why thank you, Carter! Would that wife be Paris Hilton by chance? ;)

It's all about being able to save products and come back to them later for me! 🥕- I'm an admittedly slow shopper so being able to easily collect the things I like online and come back to browse them in my own time is a game changer
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@james_toyfight me too! I use "save for later" all the time shopping apps that have it. Now with Carrot, its like a "save for later" for the entire internet! (minus all the annoying email spam)
Sarah Marandi
I love this!!! I like millions of millennials suffer from extreme FOMO. I am someone who gets so overwhelmed by searching the web only to find I have 79 tabs of different sweaters open… then backpedaling trying to remember which one was “the one” I wanted is exhausting. So then I just entirely give up and start the whole process again some days later. But thank God for CARROT as it is ABSOLUTELY REVOLUTIONARY. Now I can save the sweater and what’s even cooler???? It’s SAVED AND CATEGORIZED? GENIUS!!!! Not just some silly saved for later tab with a bunch of junk in it. Actually categorized…. Automatically. I love everything about this feature. I’m excited about it. My friends are excited about it. Carrot will really will save me so much time (and money) allowing me to get back to the important stuff in life …. Like actually enjoying the sweater.
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@sarah_marandi we feel your pain. glad to hear Carrot is helping :)
Bobby Ghoshal
@sarah_marandi Yes Sarah!! It's amazing to hear why you love the product, it's simple and powerful and made for people just like you and me. thank you for showing support

@ramincarrot Scrolled through the posts and may have missed this question if it's been asked: I signed up using my Google account but I have two accounts, one for work and one for home, that I use. In some cases, I have services attached to my work address, e.g. Amazon Prime that I use for both work and home and vice-versa. Does Carrot allow you to add more than one Google account? I did sign up and didn't see a method to do this.
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
hi @scottwwilliams, we don't currently allow you to use multiple google accounts on the same Carrot account (each one will create a new account.) But it shouldn't matter which google account you use, as long as you are logged in using the same one on the browser that you are using to shop. If you accidentally created an account using one google account (and claimed a username that you want to re-use), we can fix that for you. Shoot me an email at ramin@addtocarrot.com and we can sort it out for you.
Scott Williams
Makes perfect sense. I just logged back in and was able to claim my username so all is good. Thanks for the quick response!
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@scottwwilliams Awesome. glad it worked out
Christie Greenaway
I always have a million tabs open on my browser with different sites and it's a nightmare to organise and compare products, Carrot has been a god send!! Never even realised I needed it and now I can't image shopping online with it. All my finds I can easily drop into collections and have everything in one place to come back to. It's great for personal use but also for business; I shared this with my friend who runs an interior design business and it's going to revolutionise the way she works with clients on their mood boards for each room.
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@christie_greenaway We would love to speak with your interior design friend about their use-case. Put us in touch!

Proud to say I'm used 100 from the Carrot alpha. I love this product. It feels like this is how shopping on the internet should always have worked.
Russell Barnard
@treggify Great to have you onboard! 😁 would love to know how long it took to adapt to using Carrot when shopping (or if you had to change at all)
Tregg
@russellbarnard Honestly it was pretty instant. I've been chatting in the Slack for a good while and it's been cool to see it grow over this short time.
Creeshla
I’ve been using Carrot for a few months and it has started to change the way I shop - for one I don’t have loads of tabs open all the time anymore. Also love the gift registry feature it’s come in very handy in the lead up to Christmas! 🥰
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@creeshla hope Carrot helped you get a nice gift this year!
Nik Sharma
I’m so excited to see this project come to life. Congrats to the entire Carrot team for working hard to get to this point!
Bobby Ghoshal
@mrsharma thanks Nik, high praise coming from you!
Alex Agus
Incredible product. So excited to use this throughout the holiday season and beyond for all things eCommerce!

Ricky Synnot
VERY excited to try this out when it becomes available in Australia. From the interviews Bobby has done to the demos here, this will save so much time and headache!
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@rickysynnot international is coming soon! stay tuned
Bobby Ghoshal
@rickysynnot can't wait to bring it to the aussies, honestly, think yall will love this
charlotte jepson
This is genius! As someone who always has multi tabs open across multiple devices, this saves me the agony of going through to find carts again/start over if I accidentally close them. The price drop notification is next level helpful too!
Ramin Bozorgzadeh
@charlotte_jepson not to mention when shops lose your items b/c your session expires! very frustrating. Carrot will save those carts for you, no problem
Hesam Meshkat
Really pumped about all these cool features Carrot offers. Excited to see you added on all these brands your collaborating with 🙌🏼
Kaveh Ghahremani
Loving it so far! Really simplified my holiday shopping especially when I need time to decide what I should ultimately buy
