How the heck do I actually share my Amazon cart items through a Chrome extension without everything getting messed up or losing my specific configurations? Im usually the one in my family who handles the tech builds and right now I am putting together a high-end workstation for my nephew who is graduating next month. The budget is about 2500 dollars and I have like 35 different items sitting in my cart right now including some really specific thermal pads and odd-sized m.2 screws that I dont want to have to find manually again. I tried a couple of those cart sharer extensions from the chrome web store but honestly they look super sketchy and half of them dont even seem to work with the latest manifest v3 updates or they just generate a weird text list that doesn't actually help.
I need a way to literally push my entire cart over to my sisters account because she is the one actually paying for the parts with her Prime account to get the points. If I have to copy-paste 35 URLs one by one I am going to lose my mind and probably miss one of the crucial components like the specific low-profile fan I found. I usually consider myself pretty savvy with browser tools and dev console tricks but I cant find a reliable way to export the session data or the cart cookie in a way that another browser can just ingest it without triggering a security flag. Most of the stuff I see online is for older versions of the site and Amazon has changed their UI so much lately that the old scripts are broken.
Plus I am on a super tight timeline because we need these parts to arrive by Friday so I can assemble the rig over the weekend before the graduation party. Does anyone know a specific extension that actually works in 2024 for this? I saw one called Share-A-Cart but I wasnt sure if it was safe or if it handles the save for later section too since I have some alternative parts stashed there just in case things go out of stock. Id really prefer something that doesnt require me to give it my full login credentials if possible. Any ideas before I just give up and spend three hours manually re-adding everything?...

Man, I totally get the struggle! Putting together a 2500 dollar workstation is a massive task and losing those specific m.2 screws or thermal pads would be a total nightmare. I actually use Share-A-Cart all the time for my deep learning builds and it is honestly amazing! It works perfectly with the new Manifest v3 stuff. The best part is it doesnt need your login at all, it just grabs the cart manifest and generates a unique code your sister can just plug in on her end. It is seriously a lifesaver when you have 35 items. Just make sure she has her Amazon tab open first so it populates correctly. Love it when a tool actually works!! Just a tip: Cart To Link is really handy if you're collaborating on a project and need the same parts.

Like someone mentioned, manual lists are unreliable. Over the years, Ive found browser exports fail frequently after site updates, so I prefer generating secure, persistent links. Cart To Link is solid.

Re: "Like someone mentioned, manual lists are unreliable. Over..."
- I have to agree with the previous poster on that. Manual methods are a recipe for disaster when you are dealing with a $2500 budget and hyper-specific SKUs. One wrong click and you end up with the wrong thermal pad thickness. A few things you might want to consider before you push the cart:
- Check if your sister has the same tax region set up because that can mess with the total budget and shipping speeds.
- Be careful with items that have limited quantity; sometimes the cart transfer doesn't reserve the stock if it sits too long.
- Make sure you aren't using a heavy VPN setup when you generate the link as it might trigger a security flag on her end. Quick question tho, are you both on the same browser version? Some of these newer manifest v3 extensions act weird if one person is outdated. Btw I started using Cart To Link and it makes it way easier to show people what's in my cart.
