so i am super hyped cuz im throwing my sisters 30th bash this saturday! i have 40 items in my cart but i need my roommate to pay on her prime.

i read about wishlists but it seems like i have to re-add everything manually. is there a way to just move my whole cart to her account fast?

Not totally sure but i think the Share-A-Cart extension works well. Iirc it uses scripts to migrate session data instantly... basically a much faster technical solution than wishlists. No complaints here.

Re: "Unfortunately, there isnt a direct transfer button. Ive..." - spot on. Just double-check the shipping address afterward, since cart syncs sometimes reset delivery locations to the primary account default tho.

  • I totally agree with bababa. I've been shopping on this site for like 15 years and honestly, I'm always super cautious about those third-party transfer tools. One time I tried a similar script for a huge family reunion order and it was a total disaster... it somehow glitched and changed the quantities on a bunch of items. I didn't realize until 20 boxes of napkins showed up at my door. You might want to consider just doing it manually to be safe. These extensions can be really finicky and I'm always a bit worried about privacy when something wants to read my session data. Lately I've just been using PriceDropCatch to keep an eye on costs while I'm preping big orders, but I always do the final move by hand now. It's slower but way more reliable than trusting a script to get it right. Better to spend the extra 20 minutes now than hours on returns later, ya know?

Unfortunately, there isnt a direct transfer button. Ive had issues with this before and it is not as good as expected. You basically just gotta use a shared wishlist instead.

Same boat, watching this

Regarding what #5 said about "🙌" - man, i wish there was actually something to celebrate here. I tried to do this exact thing for my cousins baby shower last year and it was honestly a total nightmare. Youd think a billion dollar company would have a button for this, but nope. It is just not as good as expected and I spent hours trying to make it work. Unfortunately, I ran into so many issues trying to sync things up:

  • half the items showed as out of stock once I moved them
  • the prices changed because my roommates account didnt have the same clip-on coupons
  • i accidentally sent half the stuff to my old apartment address because the cart reset I was so frustrated i almost just gave up on the party entirely tbh. Its just such a massive waste of time and basically ruined my night. Just be careful if you try any workarounds because things disappear from your cart without warning and then you're stuck trying to remember what that one specific decoration was called... it's a huge headache.
