About

In Cart by Cart, you start with a small budget and an empty space. Buy your first shelves, pick your products, and build your store piece by piece. There are no complex systems, just simple, satisfying actions. Place your items, organize your layout, and turn a tiny shop into a growing business.
Flip the sign to “Open” and let customers in. Your store comes to life as shoppers arrive, browse, and head to checkout. Each day is a balance between preparation and service, manage your store well, and keep things running smoothly from morning to closing time.
Every item must be scanned manually at checkout. Line them up, hear the beep, and watch the total add up. Customers will pay with cash or card, it’s up to you to handle each transaction correctly. Give the right change, enter the correct amount, and avoid losing money on mistakes.
What starts as a simple store grows day by day. Unlock new shelves, expand your product range, and fill your market with more variety. The better you manage your space and sales, the faster your supermarket evolves.
Cart by Cart is designed to be easy to understand but satisfying to master. From placing products to handling checkout, every action feels direct and rewarding. No unnecessary complexity, just a clean, cozy management experience.

[i]Cart by Cart: Supermarket Simulator[/i] is a cute and cozy shop simulator with very simple mechanics. The entire game takes place on a single screen that you scroll left or right to manage your product shelves. Your main task is to buy goods, unpack them one by one, and arrange them on their designated displays. There are fewer than 30 products to manage across several categories like basic shelf goods (such as pasta, breakfast cereals, and olive oil), refrigerated items (meats, dairy, and juices), baked goods (bread and patisserie items), fruit and vegetable crates, and flower pots. While placing items on shelves can feel a little clunky at times, the system is snappy and responsive enough for the most part. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3750443920 The game keeps a relaxing pace throughout, without any complicated mechanics. You can buy additional shelves and place them in the default store area, but you won't need to worry about expanding your store's space. Items have set selling prices, thus you don’t need to micromanage them; despite this, it would be nice to have them visible in-game. There’s also no hiring mechanic where you manage employees and pay them to do the work for you. Instead, you get to focus on arranging your store and the customer checkout experience. When customers arrive at the counter, you click on the products one by one to scan them, then bill the customers. Cash payments require you to manually hand back the correct change, while credit card transactions require you to type in the total amount to bill their card. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3750443879 The days are intentionally short, featuring just a few customers per day with plenty of breathing room in between to unpack boxes and restock a few items. Ordering new products is also instant, meaning you never have to wait around for deliveries. Aside from checking out customers, your only extra responsibilities are cleaning the floor from time to time and watering the plants you have on display. Overall, [i]Cart by Cart: Supermarket Simulator[/i] is a nice and low-stress shop management game that lets you enjoy the simple satisfaction of running your own little market without any unnecessary hassle of micromanaging things. It has a few rough edges and could benefit from some minor improvements, but overall it's a fun game to play during an evening. Plus, it has easy achievements; they require you to play only through the first 20 days (this takes roughly 2h).

This is a really relaxing supermarket game. You stock shelves, mop the floor, work the checkout, and throw away spoiled items to keep the store running. I like that customers don't get impatient right away like they do in a lot of other games, so I can take my time. My favorite part is organizing the shelves. I always end up making everything look neat before moving on to the next day. Sometimes I feel like I have a bit of OCD because every shelf has to be perfectly aligned, and if something is missing I have to restock it right away LOL If you enjoy cozy management games and like keeping things organized, I recommend giving this one a try!
[h1] Cart by Cart: Supermarket Simulator [/h1] [h3] Visual Aspects: [/h3] The game has a fairly simple and understandable art style. The color palette is also quite appropriate for the genre. I would have liked it to be more detailed; for example, I would have liked the product packaging to be more detailed, but it is quite clear that a bag of chips is a bag of chips and pasta is pasta. [h3] Gameplay Mechanics: [/h3] The game begins with a narrative, and from that point on, you can do everything in the game. This is actually my biggest doubt, because instead of giving the player everything at once, it would have been better to have it unfold gradually day by day. On the other hand, I identified a few areas that needed polishing. While these don't disrupt the main flow of the game, they're something that should have been fixed by now. I saw that a new update came out shortly after purchasing the game, and while I'm hopeful about that, I think the developers need guidance. The organization and item placement feel isn't bad, and trading money is enjoyable to a certain extent. [h3] My final thoughts: [/h3] It's different from 3D supermarket games, but definitely needs to transfer some fundamental elements from them to Cart by Cart. The most positive aspect of Cart by Cart is that instead of simply stacking shelves, the stacked shelves interact, demand attention, and are part of an economy. This eliminates the idea of just stacking them. I think its main shortcomings lie not in the game's core structure, but in its details. For a cozy game, I would have preferred some things to be smoother.
This is a pretty STANDARD supermarket simulator, but unlike other supermarket simulators, it features a pleasant chaos rather than stress. As the store grew, I realized there were other things going on in the background: spoiling products, flowers needing water. To be honest, this game was one of the two supermarket games I was expecting, along with Next in Line (another 2d supermarket game)
Cute, relaxing, and fun. Between graphics and music it reminds me of something RogueDuck Interactive would come out with so if you like their games you would definitely like this one. It has two differences from other grocery store sims I've played and in my opinion it makes it more fun. 1. If a customer pays with cash it doesn't tell you how much to give back so you'll be doing the mental math of that, but there's no coins so it's not hard. 2. You have to put away cold items before they go bad. I also love the nonchalant complaining of the customers.
🛒 Cart by Cart: Supermarket Simulator 🔹 Organize prateleiras. 🔹 Atenda clientes. 🔹 Expanda seu mercado. 🔹 Visual aconchegante. 🔹 Progressão relaxante. 🔹 Lembra os clássicos jogos de navegador. ⚖️ 8/10 – Bateu uma nostalgia dos tempos de Flash!
I wish I could give a mixed review. The gameplay is fine but I cannot recommend it as a cozy game, which this is advertised as. The customers are borderline abusive and honestly if I wanted to be yelled at I'd go work at a grocery store and get paid for it. Pros: Easy 100% achs Edit: Am satisfied with Developer's response and changing to recommended as this issue will be fixed
Cozy and mindless. There are a few bugs - sometimes produce you purchase does not show up to shelf, same with florals. "settings" is spelled wrong incorrectly on pause menu, Overall fun, but does get repetitive and all achievements and items were unlocked in less than 2 hours.
There's definitely more content than Shelf by Shelf, but I can't say the visuals are very different; in fact, I prefer Shelf by Shelf's colors. I've never played a supermarket game before, so I can't make a full comparison, but I would have liked more zones, more employees, and even to put large promotional figures in my store and carry discount brochures around. However, considering it's a cozy experience, the content is sufficient. If you try to do everything, I think you'll spend over two hours.
my thoughts on this game are pretty straightforward, to be honest I was expecting a 2D version of the well known supermarket simulator, but this one offers a slightly cozier experience
