REST is just an architectural style for designing network applications . As Saas applications have to send data over the network, REST can be one of the ways to design them. Other can be service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Regarding your Shopping Cart or a Quiz application they will be SaaS applications as far as they are centrally hosted (can be accessed via internet in different parts of the globe). Its doesn't matter if it is REST based.
