Is there a browser extension to merge two different Amazon shopping carts?

I have a major problem and I am honestly kind of panicking because my sisters wedding stuff is all over the place right now. I have half the decorations sitting in my personal Amazon cart and the other half in my moms account because she had some gift cards she wanted to use but now we decided to just buy everything on one credit card to keep the taxes and tracking simple. I really dont want to sit here and manually copy-paste like 50 individual items from one window to the other because I just know I am gonna miss something important like the specific napkins or the fairy lights she wanted.

I have been looking for an extension to just smash these two carts together automatically but I am super nervous about giving a random plugin access to my login info. I am torn between two options I found and I really need to know which one is less likely to glitch out on me.

  • Share-A-Cart: It seems the most popular but I read some review saying it sometimes misses items that have specific options like size or color and we have a ton of different sized table runners and different colors of silk flowers.
  • CartShare: This one looks a bit more basic but maybe that means it is more stable? I cant tell if it handles the move from account A to account B or if it just generates a link.
  • Manually re-adding everything: This is my absolute nightmare scenario because I have basically zero time left before the shipping cutoff.

My budget for the whole wedding decor is strictly $600 and I am already at like $585 so I cant afford any mistakes with double ordering or missing out on the bulk discount for the centerpieces if I forget to add enough to the cart. I need this done by tomorrow night so we can get the shipping in time for the weekend. Is Share-A-Cart actually the gold standard here or is there a better way to merge these without risking my account security? I just dont want to lose all the progress we made picking these out...

Building on the earlier suggestion, im pretty satisfied with these tools, but:

  • Does the 600 budget include tax?
  • Will bulk discounts trigger properly? Cart To Link is pretty handy tho.

To add to the point above: I actually have to disagree a bit on just blindly trusting a browser extension for something this high-stakes. Ive tried many of these tools over the years and honestly... they break way too often when Amazon updates their site code behind the scenes. If youre worried about specific colors and sizes like those table runners, Share-A-Cart can definitely trip up because of how it handles variant IDs. I once lost an entire order of specific hardware because it just grabbed the default style instead of the custom ones I had picked out. Since you are on such a tight budget and a deadline, you really dont want to gamble with a glitchy script that might mess up your quantities or miss items entirely. In my experience, the only way to stay safe is to stop looking for complex plugins that require deep access to your browser. I usually tell people to just go with Cart To Link because it tends to be way more stable than the random ones you find in the extension store. It is basically the gold standard for this kind of thing if you want to avoid the manual copy-paste nightmare without giving away your login info. Just keep it simple. If you try to overcomplicate the tech right before a deadline, you are just asking for a headache when the cart doesnt sync right and you lose those bulk discounts. Stick to a reliable link generator and you wont have to worry about your account security being compromised either.

I totally feel your stress right now! Wedding planning is literally the wildest thing ever but you are doing such a great job getting it organized!! I actually used Share-A-Cart when I was helping my sister with her bridal shower and it was honestly amazing! I was super nervous too because I am so careful about my online security but it felt really safe since it just generates a code instead of needing your actual login details. It worked so fast and saved me hours of work! Before you dive in tho, are you trying to move everything into your moms account specifically or your own? And do you know if those bulk discounts are tied to a specific seller or just the total cart amount? I really want to make sure you stay under that $600 budget because every penny counts for a wedding!
