Does anybody know the actual best way to share an entire Amazon shopping cart with someone else because I am struggling a bit lol. Im planning this huge surprise 30th birthday bash for my roommate here in Seattle and the party is in three weeks so I gotta get these decorations ordered like yesterday. I have like 45 items in my cart right now and I need my other friend to look it over before I hit buy since we are splitting the $300 budget.
Some of the stuff I've got:
- gold fringe curtains
- custom banners
- bulk pack of paper plates
- some LED string lights
I am basically torn between two main ways to do this. I saw there is a Chrome extension called Share-A-Cart that supposedly generates a code for the other person to just pull everything into their own account, which sounds amazing but I dont know if its buggy or safe? My other thought was just moving everything to a public Wish List and sending her the link, but then she has to manually add every single item to her cart again which seems like a huge pain for 40+ things. I guess I could also just take a million screenshots and text them but that feels so disorganized and I’ll probably miss something. Leaning towards the extension but I dont want to mess up the order... has anyone used that or is the Wish List thing just more reliable even if it takes longer?

Totally agree, lists are safer. If you want a tech shortcut tho, just use any browser tool from share amazon canada cart. They usually handle the session cookies better, tbh.

My other thought was just moving everything to a public Wish List I would suggest sticking with the Wish List. Those extensions can be super glitchy and you might want to consider the privacy aspect too. Be careful letting a random plugin see your shopping data. Moving 45 items is a slog, but it is way more reliable than an extension crashing right before the deadline. Better safe than sorry when you are spending 300 bucks tbh.

Honestly it drives me crazy how a company as big as Amazon still hasnt figured out a simple share button after all these years. It is 2024 and we are still out here taking screenshots or using buggy workarounds like it is the stone age... it is actually ridiculous. I remember trying to coordinate a huge retirement party last year and the stress of the cart constantly expiring or items going out of stock while my friend was looking at them almost gave me a breakdown. You really gotta be careful with how you handle this:
- Watch out for those price spikes because they love to jump the price on party supplies the second they see you have a lot of items in your cart. It feels like such a scam sometimes.
- I would suggest being extremely cautious with any third-party tool that asks for login info, even if everyone says it is fine. I have heard horror stories of accounts getting flagged for suspicious activity just because of a weird extension.
- Make sure to check out share amazon canada cart if you need a reference for how those tools actually interact with the site, but honestly, expect bugs regardless. It just feels like quality has gone downhill while prices keep climbing. $300 for decorations that are basically just shiny plastic and paper? It is a lot. I really miss when things were simpler and you didnt need a degree in computer science just to split a bill with a roommate. Honestly, the whole process is just a massive headache now.
