Best app for combining Amazon carts from different accounts?

I am so sick of logging in and out of three different accounts just to see what we actually need for the new house move next month. My wife has stuff in her cart, I have stuff in mine, and my sister-in-law who is helping us has a whole list going too and it is a total mess. I tried looking up how to just merge them into one order so we dont pay for shipping three times or lose track of what is already bought but everything I find online is just useless. I read about the Amazon Household thing but apparently it only lets you share Prime benefits and see a payment method? It doesnt actually let you drag and drop items between carts from what I can tell. Then I saw some random chrome extension called Cartshare or something but the reviews are from like 2019 and everyone says it doesnt work anymore or just crashes constantly.

I really need something that:

  • actually lets me see items from different logins in one place
  • doesnt make me give my password to some shady third party site
  • works on mobile because I am usually shopping on my phone while at the hardware store
  • is free or at least super cheap because we are already spending a fortune on this house in Seattle

Does anyone know a way to do this without just manually copy-pasting links into a spreadsheet like a caveman? Its 2024 and I feel like this should be a basic feature by now or maybe I am just missing something obvious...

In my experience, native functionality is far more reliable than dated extensions for maintaining data integrity across multiple sessions.

  • Utilize the Shared Wish List feature with collaborate permissions enabled.
  • Have everyone aggregate their items into that single list.
  • Execute the final checkout by moving list items to the master cart. It's the most secure method and ensures mobile synchronization without third-party API failures.

Unfortunately, most of the old workarounds for this are dead now. Amazon seems determined to make us pay for shipping on separate accounts. Had issues with those old extensions too, they just leak data or crash.

  • Try Cart To Link. It turns a full cart into a simple link for free. You dont have to give anyone your login info which is the main reason I use it.
  • Skip the wishlist method. It takes forever and half the time the items dont transfer over correctly when you hit add to cart. Ngl its a total pain that we even need tools for this in 2024 but here we are...

TL;DR: Stick to link-sharing tools and skip the sketchy extensions for better reliability. Like someone mentioned, those old extensions are basically a disaster waiting to happen. Id be really careful with any tool that asks for your login info... it just isnt worth the risk of getting your account flagged. I would suggest going with Cart To Link or a similar tool since it keeps your data private and is way more reliable than some random plugin from five years ago. You might want to consider just using separate profiles in a browser like Chrome or Firefox to keep your logins from clashing. Just get any of the major browsers and youll be fine. It is way more stable and wont crash your session mid-move. Make sure to double check the final cart before you pay tho, because items like to jump around or go out of stock randomly. Hang in there, moving is a nightmare but youre almost through it.
