How do I actually get my team into my Amazon cart so we can stop sending links back and forth every five minutes? Im trying to get our new satellite office in Austin set up and I need to buy like 15 ergonomic chairs and a bunch of monitor arms by tomorrow night so they arrive before the move-in date on Monday and its already getting late.
I spent some time looking this up and keep seeing people mention Amazon Business accounts having a shared cart feature but we are just using a personal Prime account for now because the business verification process was gonna take too long and we dont have time to wait. I also saw some stuff about 'Invite to List' but that seems like a wishlist thing and I dont know if everyone can actually add things to the main cart or if I have to go through and click 'add to cart' for every single item they pick out which sounds like a total nightmare for 40+ items.
Is there any way to just give them access to the live cart so we can all see the total budget and whats in there in real time? Or is this just not a thing on regular Amazon accounts? I feel like I'm missing something super obvious but I'm in a huge rush and keep hitting dead ends...

Personal accounts dont have shared carts. I tried this for a big event once and it failed.
- use invite to list
- avoid sharing passwords Might want to try lists instead.

Building on the earlier suggestion, regular Prime accounts simply don't have a native shared cart option. In my experience, sharing passwords is too risky for any office setup. I've found that using shared lists is the only reliable way without a business account. For more specifics, checking out how to share amazon cart is worth a look. It keeps things secure while you're in a rush.

Totally agree with the previous post that lists are your best bet! I love using lists for office setups because they keep things so organized, but you definitely have to be careful about how you do it. Whatever you do, do NOT share your login credentials with the team just to get them into the account. I've seen accounts get flagged for suspicious activity or even locked when multiple people log in from different spots, which is the last thing you need before a deadline! Here is the professional way to handle this without the chaos:
- Create a new List specifically for the Austin office
- Use the Invite feature and toggle the Collaboration setting so they can add items
- Check out this guide on how to share amazon cart for the specific technical steps Its amazing how much time you save when everyone just drops their picks into one spot instead of Slack! Just make sure you review the final list before moving everything to the cart to avoid any double orders. Good luck with the move!
