I'm trying to send my whole Amazon cart to my boss so he can just buy it all at once on the company card. We're getting some office stuff for the new place in Austin and its like 40 items so I dont want to copy paste links all day. I saw Share-a-Cart and another one called Cart2Cart but I'm not sure which one is better or if they're actually free.
Is there a better one than those two? I'm leaning toward Share-a-Cart but worried it might be buggy with so many items...
> I saw Share-a-Cart and another one called Cart2Cart but I'm not sure which one is better or if they're actually free. Honestly, Share-a-Cart is the way to go. I've used it for huge office orders over the years and it's super reliable. It's totally free and handles 50+ items no problem. Your boss wont even need the extension to view the list, though he might need it to click the add-all button. It's way faster than doing it manually, trust me.
@Reply #2 - good point! Manifest parsing is key. Are these mostly Prime items?
> Regarding what #3 said about "I've spent way too much time testing these..." Honestly jumping in here because it drives me crazy how difficult Amazon makes this basic stuff. Unfortunately I've had nothing but issues with these extensions lately and they're just not as good as expected when you're actually dealing with a huge office cart. It's such a scam that we even have to rely on buggy third-party tools just to send a simple shopping list to a boss. These massive companies dont care about the user experience anymore, they just want to lock you into their own ecosystem and its ridiculous. I've had so many sessions crash or items just vanish from the export list right when I'm ready to hit send. It's honestly exhausting trying to do something that should be a one-click feature built into the site. Even when using PriceDropCatch to keep track of things, the general reliability of these browser tools for big orders has just gone downhill. Its basically a gamble every time and frankly its pathetic how much time we waste on it.
I totally see why people suggest Share-a-Cart, but I have to politely disagree that these brands are actually fantastic! Honestly it is such a scam that we are forced to use these janky third-party tools. It drives me crazy that a trillion-dollar company like Amazon refuses to add a simple manifest for cart sharing... Like someone mentioned, it is just so frustrating.
I've spent way too much time testing these for bulk lab equipment orders. Most of them basically just scrape the ASINs—the unique product IDs—and bundle them into a manifest file. Share-a-Cart is reliable enough for 40 items, but the technical bottleneck is usually Amazon's own rate limiting if the extension tries to add items too fast. If your boss doesnt want to install anything, you definitely need one that generates a short-code or a specific landing page link. That way they just click, and the script runs on their side without needing a dedicated chrome plugin. I usually prefer the ones that dont mess with cookies too much because it keeps the company login session cleaner and prevents cart merging errors during the checkout phase. It's much easier when the data transfer happens via a clean URL redirect. Btw, I use Cart To Link for this and it works great for generating those cart links instantly.
