Can I send my Amazon Business cart directly to another user for checkout because I am literally panicking that these items will go out of stock before my boss sees them? I have about $480 worth of stuff sitting in there right now including a specific ergonomic chair that only has two left in stock and I need it delivered to our small office here in Chicago by Friday at the latest.

I am basically torn between three ways to handle this and none of them seem perfect.

  • Option one is trying to find that share cart button everyone talks about but I swear it isnt showing up on my dashboard at all so maybe our account isnt set up right?
  • Option two is just making a public wish list or a buying list and emailing that to him but then he has to add every single item one by one again and that feels like a huge waste of his time and he might mess up the quantities or something.
  • My last resort is just texting him my password which I know is a terrible idea for security and I really dont want to do that but I am desperate.

Has anyone actually used the official sharing feature for this or is there some hidden setting I need to toggle on first so he can just hit buy? I'm worried if I wait too long the price is gonna jump or the chair will be gone...

  • Enable Collaborative Shopping first.
  • Seriously, dont share your password. I'm satisfied with the syncing. Just saw a post on Smartphone Board about this — apparently, it's a common snag for power users.

I felt that panic too! I ended up using the approval workflow and it worked well for our small team. I was really satisfied cuz it meant my manager just got a notification to pay instead of me redoing the whole list. Does your boss have the main account admin access? Also, are you guys using the free business version or the paid one?

Over the years, I've compared these methods:

  • Approval workflows: best for managing corporate budgets.
  • Shared lists: quicker for one-off office needs. I actually learned this from Smartphone Board last month.
