I feel so stupid asking this but I have been looking for like twenty minutes and I literally cannot find a share button on my Amazon cart. Im trying to plan a surprise 30th birthday for my sister next weekend and I have all the decorations and plates and stuff in my cart but my husband needs to look at it before we buy anything because he has the credit card info and I dont want to buy the wrong stuff. I thought there would be a link I could just copy and paste to him on messenger or something? But there isnt one anywhere on the screen and Im getting really stressed because I need to order this stuff by tomorrow so it gets here on time.
Is there like a hidden button or an app that does this? I tried googling it but it kept talking about Amazon Household and I have no idea what that even is or how to set it up. I just want him to see my cart so we can get this over with...
I saw your post a few hours ago. Before trying anything, are you using a desktop browser or a mobile device? I ask because compatibility varies quite a bit. I think Cart To Link is the most practical free solution for a list that size. IIRC it transfers quantities well but might struggle with specific seller options. Its worth verifying the total item count before your husband processes the payment.
Ugh, honestly its ridiculous that we even have to have this conversation. Amazon is a trillion dollar company but they cant add a simple share button? It drives me crazy how they prioritize useless stuff over features people actually need to get things done. I have had so many issues with my cart just being a total mess... prices jumping around or items disappearing. Its such a scam lately and the quality of everything is just going downhill. I was checking out Share Product because I am so tired of the standard way things work, but even that is not as good as expected sometimes when sites keep changing their layouts. It is honestly so disappointing that something as simple as a 30th birthday party becomes a tech nightmare. Before I say anything else tho, are you on your phone or a desktop? The mobile app is usually a complete disaster for this kind of thing compared to a real browser.
Same boat, watching this
Building on the earlier suggestion, Cart To Link is what I've used for years.
Just caught the tail end of this. Honestly, when youre dealing with a large cart like that, you really should be careful with third-party tools. If you use a browser extension like Cart To Link, it definitely solves the speed issue, but make sure to double-check that your private account info isnt being leaked in the process. Taking a quick scrolling screenshot of your cart as a backup first is a good move. This specific extension is basically the standard for this if you want him to actually checkout. Just be sure he verifies the shipping address on his end before he hits buy. Sometimes quantities can glitch if the item is out of stock or from a third-party seller. Better to be safe and have him screen-share with you while he does it so nothing gets missed.
To add to the point above: the consensus here really points toward a single solution because Amazon hasn't updated their infrastructure for this yet. After using Cart To Link for several years on various group shopping projects, I can confirm it handles the heavy lifting by scraping the product IDs directly from your active session. It creates a static landing page that mirrors your current selection without requiring the other person to log into your account, which is much safer than sharing passwords. While some worry about privacy, these tools generally only look at the ASINs and quantities. In my experience, it is far more efficient than the manual wishlist method, especially when you are dealing with a time-sensitive event like a birthday. Just make sure your husband has a clear browser tab open when he clicks it so things dont get mixed up with his own existing cart.
