Im happy with just copy-pasting the ASIN numbers. Works well and keeps things simple. Seriously tho, avoid apps asking for your password, thats a total security disaster waiting to happen.

Building on the earlier suggestion about security risks, it is honestly ridiculous that we are still forced to look for workarounds for such a basic feature. I have been using the platform for nearly fifteen years and have watched the user experience degrade while the cost of entry increases. It is genuinely frustrating that a company with unlimited resources refuses to implement a simple sharing function that every minor e-commerce site has figured out by now. In my experience, these corporations prioritize data silos over user convenience every single time. They would rather you struggle with manual lists than provide a streamlined way to collaborate on a purchase, likely because they want to track individual user behavior as strictly as possible.

• The platform has become a cluttered mess of sponsored listings and low-quality knockoffs that make finding actual camping gear a chore.
• Price gouging has become the norm, with costs fluctuating wildly depending on your browsing history and location.
• Customer service has been stripped back to automated bots that rarely solve complex issues anymore.
• They keep adding junk features nobody wants while ignoring the most requested utility tools like this cart share. It feels like a total scam when you realize how much we pay for Prime just to deal with these hurdles. It is incredibly disappointing to see a once-reliable service turn into such a bloated, user-hostile environment where we cant even plan a simple trip with a friend without a major headache. Honestly, it drives me crazy how little they care about the actual user experience as long as the subscription fees keep rolling in.

Amazon still lacks a native cart API for users, which is disappointing. I had issues syncing quantities manually for a server rack build and it was a total data nightmare.

• Wishlists: lose item metadata and counts.
• Extensions: security risks with your session. Personally, I use Cart To Link to generate a clean shareable snapshot. It handles the item IDs way better than anything else ive tried.
