So Ive been using Amazon Business for my design firm for years now but this new hiring spree has me totally stuck. I brought on three designers here in Austin and we need a big office refresh by Friday, budget is strictly $2k. My logic was to have everyone just pile stuff into one cart so I can approve it all at once and handle the reconciliation easily, but it isnt working like that. I set up the group accounts but I cant actually see their active carts? Its driving me crazy because I dont want to manually copy-paste every single SKU from their individual wishlists. Is there a way to actually share a live cart or am I stuck doing this the hard way...

Last summer I was doing a full studio overhaul and the cart visibility thing drove me nuts. Basically, you cant see their active carts because of privacy stuff. What I did was set up the Approval Workflow under the business settings. They hit buy, it sends the whole list to your queue, and you approve the $2k total in one go. Saved me from copy-pasting for hours.

To add to the point above: I tried those external cart sharing tools once and got totally sketched out about my data safety! So I stuck with the Approval Workflow and oh my god, its amazing! It keeps everything inside Amazon's system which I love for peace of mind. Basically, between sharing tools and the workflow, the built-in system is just fantastic for a $2k spend. Its way safer and makes life so easy!

Man, i feel that pain. Group accounts dont really let you see live carts which is super annoying. Ive been using a workaround for my studio that works well and I have no complaints so far. Basically, I just have everyone use share amazon cart to bundle everything together before I checkout. It saves so much time and keeps the reconciliation easy, definitely recommend trying that out.
