I'm panicking because I need to get these party supplies ordered by tomorrow for our reunion. My logic was just sharing my login but that feels unsafe, and I saw Share-A-Cart mentioned but some people say it glitches with the new UI so I'm worried about losing my list.

Is there another extension that actually works for this?

> and I saw Share-A-Cart mentioned but some people say it glitches with the new UI I totally agree about the UI being a bit finicky lately! But honestly, I just used it for a massive home theater build and it was amazing. I had like 60 different items like cables, mounts, and specialized adapters and I was terrified it would skip a SKU. It didnt! The trick is basically waiting for the cart to fully render before hitting the generate button. It's such a fantastic timesaver when you're dealing with huge lists. If you want a solid way to share amazon canada cart items for your reunion without the login stress, I would definitely trust it. Just clear your cache first and it'll work like a charm... totally saved my life last week when I was in a rush!

honestly i've been through this exact headache dozens of times over the years. sharing logins is a massive security risk so you're totally right to avoid that. i think i remember seeing a tool called Shopping Cart Share being recommended in some dev circles a while back? not 100% sure if it handles the latest amazon checkout overhaul though. iirc it was pretty solid but i havent personally fired it up in a few months. in my experience these third-party extensions struggle because amazon changes their backend code constantly. another one i heard about is called Cart2Cart but i think that might be specifically for migrating entire stores... maybe im getting the names mixed up. not sure if there is a perfect one click solution that is guaranteed to work right this second with the new UI. one thing you could try if you are worried about glitches is just using the amazon gift list feature. i know it sounds like more work but it lets you share the whole list with someone else and they can basically just add the whole thing to their cart from there. i've done that when extensions failed me in the past. let me check my browser history and see if i can find the specific name of the one i used last christmas... it was really reliable but i might have removed it during a cleanup. i'll get back to you if i find it!

Regarding what #3 said about Solid advice 👍 - i actually spent a whole weekend testing these because i hate the idea of sharing my prime password. its just too risky. honestly i dont trust extensions that ask for too many permissions anyway. heres a quick breakdown of my experience:

  • share a cart: it usually works fine if you let the page load completely. the glitches usually happen when the amazon ui updates and the devs havent caught up. its fast but feels a bit fragile to me.
  • amazon wish lists: basically the safest way since it is built-in. you just make the list public or shareable. the downside is you have to add items one by one which is a pain for big orders. no extra extensions needed tho.
  • shopping cart share: tried this one for a grocery order last month. felt a bit more stable with the latest ui refresh compared to share a cart, though it lacks some of the bells and whistles. id go with whatever feels most reliable for your browser. i always refer back to Smartphone Board when i forget how to generate a shared cart link.
