Cart and CRG from one collection?

Is it possible to use the same collection/images for Cart & CRG?

no, not from the same Publisher collection.
You could use the same images in two different albums.
Or you could set up an album with a Client Response album template and after the client has made their choices, switch the album template to one set up with the Cart.

Thanks for your reply Rod, how would I use the same images in two different albums. This would be a great help to save on server space?

You would just have two different albums in Lr, but it would not help on server space since the images reside in different albums.

Thanks again... maybe this is something that could be in a future update. I've just had to increase my server space. Would help immensely if CRG and cart could use the same images. Especially if all images are unique?

It's probably more of a Lightroom limitation than a Backlight limitation. Lightroom's Publish service probably can't do what you want.
But remember, you can always switch from a Client Response template to Cart template once your client has made their choices.

Rod is spot on. With Lightroom's Publish Services, every album has its own image renditions. It does not allow the creation of a consolidated online library of images.

Then LR need to step it up! Thanks of your time & responses. Regrettably i cant switch between the two as will need both of them running at the same time.

Thanks Again!

In that case, you will need to publish separate albums, and make due with having multiple copies of your images on server. I can't speak for Adobe, but I would venture to guess the situation is unlikely to change.
