Help & FAQ

Everything you need to get started with Qart

What is Qart?

Qart is a pause button for your shopping impulses. When you find something you want to buy, you Qart it — and the app holds it for a set period before checking back in. No judgment, no lectures. Just a little breathing room between “I want this” and “I’m buying this.” Most people find they still want some things and feel relieved they didn’t buy others. Either way, you shopped more intentionally.

What should I screenshot?

The best screenshots are ones that show all three of: the product image, the product name, and the price. Cart pages, checkout pages, and product pages all work well. If your screenshot is missing any of these, you can always fill them in manually on the confirmation screen.

Can I add items without a screenshot?

Yes — tap the + button and choose “Add via link.” Paste any product URL and Qart will pull the item details automatically.

How long is the pause period?

The default pause period is 10 days, but you can change this. You can set a new app-wide default in Settings, or customize the pause period for any individual item at the time you Qart it.

What happens when my pause period ends?

You’ll get a notification asking: still want it, pass, or need more time? If you still want it, Qart will take you directly to the product so you can buy it. If you pass, it moves to your “Passed” list — a record of money you didn’t spend. If you need more time, the pause extends.

Why did my item get split into multiple items?

Qart tries to identify individual items from your screenshot but occasionally gets it wrong. Just tap the X on any items you don’t want to keep.

Why is there no product image on my item?

Some retailers make it difficult to automatically capture product images. We’re working on improving image capture over time.

Why should I bother Qarting something instead of just buying it?

Honestly? You might still buy it — and that’s fine. But you might also find that when your pause period ends, you’ve totally forgotten about it, or you just don’t care anymore. Qart isn’t about spending less, it’s about spending on things you actually want. The pause is the whole point.
