Ive been a Prime member since like 2012 and literally never had this issue before but Im losing my mind right now. My roommate and I are moving into our place in Chicago next Friday and we have a super tight budget for kitchen stuff. I spent three hours picking out the exact pans and utensils that fit our price point and now I cant figure out how to just send her the damn cart to look over. I looked through the checkout flow and the subtotal area but theres no share link or anything. Is there a way to just generate a link for the whole cart so she can see it or do I seriously have to make a public wishlist for this?

Yeah totally agree with the first post, its honestly ridiculous how Amazon still doesnt have a simple share button for this. I moved last year and went through the exact same headache trying to coordinate with my sister. In my experience, the native wishlist feature is super clunky because it messes with your privacy settings and takes forever to update. A few things Ive found that actually work better:
- Use a tool like Cart To Link to just turn the whole cart into a single URL.
- Screen recording your scroll if you really need to show the items fast tho it wont help her buy them. If you're looking to save some cash, just get any kitchen starter set from Amazon Basics. You really cant go wrong there for the price. Same with Cuisinart stuff, just grab whatever fits the budget and it will be solid.

Amazon is weirdly behind on this and still doesnt have a native share button for the cart itself. I ran into this last year when I was spec-ing out a custom home server build with a buddy and had about 15 different specific hardware components lined up. You basically have two real options here. The cleanest technical fix is a browser extension called Share-A-Cart. It generates a unique code for your list that your roommate can just plug in on their end. It saves a ton of time compared to the manual wishlist route. If you dont want to install any new software, moving everything to a public list is the only vanilla way. I tested the extension with a 40 dollar Lodge skillet and some OXO utensils recently and it handled the data transfer perfectly. Its the standard workaround for the lack of a direct API for cart sharing right now.
