**Kactoos** is a defunct [social network service](/source/Social_network_service) and [group buying](/source/Group_buying) site created by Kactoos Group and headquartered in [Miami](/source/Miami), Florida. Its slogan was "Shop together and save". Kactoos was available in Spanish and Portuguese.

The site was not an [online store](/source/Online_store), but a group buying shopping platform that allows users to join groups in order to buy a particular item. The more users join a specific product's group, the lower will its price be.
