I have this huge list of supplies for a charity event this Friday and my cart is sitting at $800 right now. My boss needs to pay for it with the company card but shes in another office and I dont want to give her my login info obviously.

I looked online and saw people mentioning the Move to Wish List thing but that feels so slow because she has to move them back to her cart one by one? I also saw something about Amazon Household but we arent family and I dont think that lets you just push a cart over. My logic was there might be a share cart button I missed but I cant find it anywhere. Is there a faster way to just send the whole thing over before these items go out of stock?

Caught this late but try an extension! Its amazing!

  • Install a browser tool
  • Click generate link
  • Send it over Cart To Link worked perfectly across regions for me!

Honestly, it is pretty disappointing that Amazon still hasnt implemented a native share cart button after all these years. You would think a multi-billion dollar tech giant would have a smoother workflow for business purchases. Unfortunately, the Wish List method you mentioned is a total pain for large orders because it forces the recipient to click every single item individually, which is basically a recipe for mistakes when youre dealing with an $800 list of supplies. Household definitely wont work either since its meant for Prime sharing and digital content, not transferring active sessions. I had issues with this exact thing last month for a project. The only real technical workaround that actually works without sharing passwords is using a tool like Cart To Link. It basically converts your whole basket into a shareable URL so your boss can just click it and load everything into her own account instantly. Its way faster than the manual alternatives.

Regarding what #1 said about "Honestly, it is pretty disappointing that Amazon still..." - it is a massive oversight. So far the thread has basically highlighted that Amazon lacks a native share feature and everyone is stuck with slow wishlists or third-party extensions. Ngl I have the exact same problem right now and it is such a pain. I have been trying to push a cart with 42 different server components and specialized SKU items to our procurement office for over a week. Since the technical specs are so specific, I really cannot afford any manual entry errors during the re-ordering process. It is incredibly frustrating that a platform this huge doesnt have a simple way to export a cart manifest or share the data directly. Still havent found a fix and I am just as stuck as you are.

To add to the point above: I honestly get pretty nervous using those third-party browser extensions, especially when you are dealing with company cards and high-dollar amounts. Its just a safety thing for me... you never really know what kind of data those things are scraping in the background. If you are doing this for work tho, you should really look into Amazon Business instead of the standard consumer site. It is way more reliable for these kinds of situations. Basically, you can set up a whole team and it has built-in approval workflows so you just click a button and your boss gets a notification to pay. Just go with any of the business account setups they offer and it solves the sharing issue permanently. No need to mess with wishlists or weird plugins that might crash or leak your info.

To add to the point above: the security thing is huge but man, the manual logistics of these big carts is what usually kills me. Reminds me of this absolute nightmare I had when I was rebuilding my entire home server rack last year. I had like 60 items sitting in my cart... tiny bits and pieces, screws, specialized cables, the works. I tried to do the whole screenshot and send method because my brother was chipping in on the hardware costs. Tbh it turned into a total circus. He missed a few items, then he accidentally ordered the wrong gauge of wire because the description looked similar on his phone screen. By the time everything arrived, I spent a whole weekend just sorting through boxes only to realize we were missing the most important mounting brackets. I ended up having to drive two hours to a specialty shop just to keep the project moving while the rest of the stuff sat in piles on my floor. It basically doubled my build time. Such a mess when you're just trying to get a project finished...
