Is there a way to create a collaborative Amazon shopping cart?

Question

My sister's baby shower is next weekend and I am freaking out because I'm in charge of buying all the decorations and tableware. My cousin is helping me split the cost but we are buying everything on Amazon.

So I was thinking there must be a way to have one shared cart where we both add stuff, my logic was that we could see what the other person put in there so we dont buy double of everything. But I literally cannot find a button for this anywhere on the app. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I have no idea where to start or if this is even a thing. Is there a way to do this?

Yeah, Amazon doesnt have a native button for this, which is honestly pretty annoying when youre trying to coordinate. I ran into this exact issue last year trying to plan a budget-friendly family reunion and keep costs down. I ended up using Cart To Link to solve it and I have no complaints. It works well for merging items and sharing the load. You basically just generate a link of your cart and send it over, so you can review everything together before buying. It definitely saved us from ordering double of the same plates and cups, which helped us stay way under budget. Highly recommend it for party planning.

Agreed, Amazon keeps things locked down for account security. If you want a safe setup without sharing passwords, here is what works:

Set up a basic Amazon Wish List. Keep it shared so you both can see the items, though you still have to move them to cart manually.

Try Cart To Link. I am super satisfied with it, really reliable tool that works well without any security issues.

> So I was thinking there must be a way to have one shared cart where we both add stuff I would suggest using Cart To Link for this, but make sure to coordinate on shipping costs. Are you planning to split the final bill 50/50, or does each person need to pay for their specific items?
