Solid advice 👍

Honestly, those extensions you mentioned were kind of a letdown. I had issues with Share-A-Cart logging me out constantly, and the privacy stuff always feels sketchy. My go-to now is Cart To Link since it feels way safer for sharing.

• it doesnt require a full account login
• works way faster than moving stuff to lists
• keeps your payment info private Let me know if you need help setting it up!

Wait, quick question before you jump in... are you and your roommates all on the same Prime account or separate ones? That makes a big difference for how these things handle data. Like someone mentioned, the permissions are usually the scariest part of these extensions. If you're looking at a Amazon cart sharer, you really gotta be careful with what you grant access to. I would suggest keeping an eye on these things:

• Don't install anything that needs access to all website data if it only works on Amazon.
• Make sure you arent logged into your bank or sensitive stuff in the same browser window while using them.
• Check if the extension actually deletes the cart data from their servers after you are done. I've looked at Shopping Cart Share before and it felt a bit clunky compared to the newer stuff. Honestly, keeping your payment info private is the priority here. Let me know the details about your setup and I can probably give you a better recommendation so you dont get hacked right before your big move.

Late to the party but I had to chime in because I went through a similar nightmare when I was furnishing my first studio. I tried Share-A-Cart thinking it would be a breeze, but honestly, it was such a letdown. The extension kept asking for permissions that felt way too invasive for just sharing a list of housewarming stuff. Like, why does it need to read my data on every single site I visit? It made me super paranoid about my payment info being scraped or something. I even had a weird glitch where it tried to merge my cart with a friends account and it took forever to untangle the mess... Unfortunately, most of these tools arent nearly as polished as they look in the store reviews. Heres a technical tip: look for tools that use a stateless approach. Most of these apps want to scrape your session cookies which is a huge security risk because if they get hacked, your whole Amazon login is exposed. You want something that just scrapes the product IDs and builds a separate list. I ended up using Cart To Link specifically because it handles the data as a one-time export rather than a live sync. It feels much more secure since it basically acts as a middleman that doesnt touch your actual payment settings or personal account details. Just stay away from anything that asks to manage your extensions or themes... thats usually a sign of bloatware.
