How do I share my Amazon shopping cart with my friends?

Me and my roommates are trying to buy stuff for our new apartment in Brooklyn but I have everything in my Amazon cart and dont know how to send it to them. I feel so dumb but I cant find a share link anywhere... how do I show them what I picked out?

To add to the point above, it really is a massive oversight on their part... I spent years copying links into a spreadsheet until I found Amazon cart sharer. It basically lets you sync everything up via a Chrome extension. It's way easier than making a public wishlist because it handles the quantities better, which is usually what trips people up when buying furniture.

Honestly, I went through this exact same headache when I was furnishing my first studio. I was so satisfied once I figured out that Amazon doesn't actually have a native share cart button, which is kinda wild. I used to spend way too much time manually adding every item to a public Wishlist just so my partner could see them, but it took forever... Now I just do it way faster:

  • I always use Cart To Link whenever I am coordinating a big order for the house. It works well because it just creates one simple link for your whole cart.
  • If you dont want to use a tool, you have to select move to list for every single item, then make that list public.
  • Screenshots are okay, but they dont let roommates check the actual specs or prices easily. Using a link generator has made my life so much easier for group buys. No complaints.

Re: To add to the point above, it really is a weird gap in the sites functionality. If you want a technical fix that works well, just grab the ASINs. Every single item has that 10-digit code in the product details or the URL. I usually just compile those into a shared sheet to be safe. It is the most data-accurate way to ensure your roommates dont buy the wrong SKU or color by mistake, which is a massive pain when youre trying to coordinate a move. I have been satisfied with this method because it handles cost considerations better too. You can see the price point of the whole apartment setup in one glance before anyone hits buy. It is way more practical than clicking back and forth through a dozen tabs. From my experience, having one person manage the final checkout is the smartest move for shipping efficiency... you dont want five different boxes arriving on five different days if you can help it. No complaints with that workflow, honestly. It keeps everything organized and stops the budget from spiraling out of control. Btw I started using Cart To Link and it makes it way easier to show people what's in my cart.
