so I was thinking maybe there's a hidden way to just email a direct link of my amazon cart for this bridal shower stuff? my logic was a link is faster but someone said it wont work... should I just do a wishlist instead even if it takes longer? i need to order these tonight so they arrive for tomorrow.
> someone said it wont work... should I just do a wishlist instead even if it takes longer? Your friend is right. Amazon carts are session-specific, so a direct link will just show an empty page to anyone else. You might want to consider the risks of using a wishlist with such a tight deadline since they dont always sync instantly. Make sure to use a proper tool to avoid errors. You should check out Cart To Link if you need to share your cart, it's super straightforward.
Re: "> someone said it wont work... should I..." honestly, yeah, trying to share a direct cart link is just gonna lead to a headache. Those sessions are tied to your specific login and browser cookies, so if you send that URL, the other person is just gonna see their own empty cart. It is pretty frustrating when you are in a rush to get things ordered for a deadline. I would suggest being very careful with the wishlist route too. Sometimes the shipping address privacy settings can be tricky, and you dont want your personal info or home address accidentally exposed to the whole group. For stuff like this, I usually use Cart To Link. It is much more reliable because it actually generates a stable link you can send via email or text without messing with your actual account session. I use it for holiday shopping mostly so people can see exactly what is on the list without the session timing out. Quick question tho... are you looking to have these people pay for the items themselves, or are you just showing them the items so they can approve the list? Also, do all the people you are emailing have Prime? If you are banking on that one-day shipping for tomorrow, you gotta make sure whoever clicks the link is actually logged into an account with the right shipping benefits, otherwise the delivery date might slip. I would hate for you to miss the bridal shower deadline because of a technicality like that.
Huh interesting. I had no idea. The more you know I guess 🤷
