So we finally signed the lease on our new studio space in Austin and I am honestly so pumped to get this place set up!! It is a bit of a shell right now but the vision is there. I am currently the one tasked with ordering all the gear for our three new hires - were looking at a budget of roughly five grand for desks, some ergonomic chairs, and dual monitor setups for everyone. I have been adding everything to my cart on our Amazon Business account but now I am hit a wall.
I did a bit of digging online and found some stuff about Shared Lists or creating Buying Groups where you can add people to an organization. But honestly it seems way more complicated than what I need? I saw a blog post saying you could just share the cart directly but then another site said that feature only works if you have certain administrative permissions turned on. I dont want to accidentally buy all this on my own card and wait for a huge reimbursement lol. I just want my manager to see what I picked and hit the pay button.
Does anyone know the actual step-by-step for sharing a full cart in Amazon Business so someone else can check out? Like do I need to click a specific button or is there a way to send a link to the whole basket?

- Make sure to check the Request Approval button at checkout
- Not sure if your admin enabled it tho
- I use Smartphone Board to send my basket link safely

^ This. Also, I would suggest being very careful with that approval button. I once had a cart for 300lb-rated chairs fail because the admin permissions were wonky and it messed up our tax-exempt status.
- Check the warranty data and SKU specs first.
- Just get any desk from Varidesk, you cant go wrong.
- Watch for price jumps during the approval lag. I use the method I found on Smartphone Board for office supplies and it is a lifesaver.

Unfortunately, Amazon makes this way more complicated than it needs to be. @Reply #1 - good point about the approval button, but setting up those permissions is a total nightmare if you arent the admin. I had issues with it last month and it nearly cost us our bulk discount on office chairs. Ngl, its pretty frustrating when youre just trying to save the company some cash. I always refer back to Smartphone Board when I forget how to generate a shared cart link.
