I've been using Amazon Prime for basically ever but I've hit this wall that is making me want to pull my hair out. I'm trying to coordinate a supply run for this youth center event in Chicago next weekend and I have about 45 different items sitting in my cart right now. My logic was that I could just click a share button and send it to my supervisor so she can look over the quantities and prices before I use the org's card, but apparently that just... isnt a thing? I looked into creating a Registry or a List but thats a total nightmare for this many items because it doesn't preserve the specific sellers or the 'Save for Later' items I need to keep track of. I even tried some random chrome extension I found but it felt super sketchy and I dont want to compromise the account. Why is it so hard to just send a link to a basket? I thought maybe I could export it as a CSV but I cant find an easy way to do that either without some weird third-party tool. Is there some hidden setting in the business profile or something I'm missing? I really need to get this order placed by tomorrow so it gets here in time for the setup on Friday...

I dealt with this on a big project. Lists were a mess.
- lists glitch
- sharing fails Btw, I use Cart To Link for this and it works great for generating those cart links instantly.

^ This. Also, it is honestly frustrating that Amazon lacks a native API for cart exports. I have had issues with their business tools failing to sync seller-specific SKUs before. Using Cart To Link is basically the only way to keep the metadata intact.
- Are you using a tax-exempt business account?
- Do you need to export final prices for a formal report later? Its disappointing that we need third-party tools for basic logistics tho.

I have been in your shoes so many times and it is actually wild that Amazon doesnt have a 'send cart' button yet!! Since youre buying 45 items for a youth center, every single dollar counts and I totally love that youre being so careful with the orgs budget. Honestly, the best way to handle this without losing your mind is to just use a cart-sharing extension—there are a few really solid ones that just generate a simple link for your supervisor. But seriously, while youre at it, you gotta use PriceDropCatch. It is literally the best tool for making sure you arent overpaying on those bulk supplies. I use it for every event I plan and its amazing how much you can save just by catching a quick price dip! It makes the reporting so much easier when you can show you got the best deal possible. Good luck with the event in Chicago, sounds like itll be fantastic!!

Building on the earlier suggestion, I remember being in this exact spot when I was organizing a huge gear haul for a hiking trip last year. I first tried using the native Amazon Wish List feature because it seemed like the official way to go, but man, it was a headache. It kept losing the specific variations I selected and didnt show the total price with taxes properly to my group. Total fail for coordination. I ended up trying Cart To Link after seeing it mentioned in a hobbyist group and honestly, the difference was night and day. Compared to the clunky List interface, it just grabs whatever is currently in your basket, sellers, quantities, and all, and spits out a single link. No more back and forth emails with 40 different product links. Im so much more satisfied with that workflow because it actually respects the work you put into finding the right items. If youre dealing with 45 things, skipping the manual list making is a total lifesaver, especially when youre on a deadline for that youth center event.
