Anyone know of a solid browser extension for sharing an Amazon cart that doesnt require me giving away my login info? Ive been doing the manual link sharing thing for years while managing my teams supply runs here in Chicago but we just hired a bunch of new staff and its becoming a total nightmare to track.
Usually I just handle the checkout on my own Prime account to save on shipping costs but I really need a way for them to just build the cart and send it over to me without me logging into their machines. I looked at a few options but they all look kinda sketchy or outdated. Any suggestions that actually work? I gotta get this sorted by Monday morning for our monthly restock...
I spent way too long yesterday auditing different scripts for this. Unfortunately, many open-source options are broken now because of Amazons updated API. Its a real letdown when youre trying to keep overhead low. I finally settled on using Cart To Link since it handles the session data transfer more securely than the others I tried. Its basically the only way I found to manage team builds without paying for an enterprise tier account.
Tried several extensions; they work by bundling session data into a single URL. Found this really helpful guide on Cart To Link that explains exactly how to create a shareable link for your Amazon cart.
Late to the party but I gotta disagree with using complex scripts. Over the years Ive tried many hacks that broke during big sales. I managed a warehouse team for a decade and honestly simple is always better for the budget.
TL;DR: Use the extensions but manually verify the final item list before paying. Session links can glitch during transfers. ^ This. Also, I would suggest you be extremely careful with relying on these for a big Monday restock. I have been managing logistics for a long time and seen these tools fail right when you need them most because Amazon pushed a silent update. Make sure to tell your staff to send a quick screenshot of their totals too. I have had sessions expire or drop items mid-transfer, which is a disaster for budget tracking. Its better to spend an extra five minutes verifying the cart than dealing with returns later. Just stay cautious and dont assume the extension grabbed everything perfectly.
