im actually losing my mind trying to figure this out and im about two seconds away from just giving up on the whole thing. i have spent the last four hours scouring amazon for everything i need for my new studio in chicago because i move in next tuesday and i finally found the perfect stuff. my parents offered to cover the first $600 of my move-in essentials as a housewarming gift but they specifically asked me to just send them my cart so they can pay for it on their own prime account since they get the points or whatever. i thought this would be a simple one-click thing but no amazon makes it impossible for no reason.
i tried making a registry or a wishlist but it is such a massive pain because half the items i added dont show the right quantities or they show up as out of stock when they are clearly available in my actual cart. plus i have like 25 items in there and i really dont want to sit here and manually re-add every single dish soap and shower curtain ring to a separate list just to hope they see it. its honestly so frustrating that a multi-billion dollar company doesnt have a share cart button in 2024. i tried looking for an extension but some of them look super sketchy and i dont want to break my browser or give some random company my data.
here is what i need to happen:
- i need to send the exact items and quantities to my dad
- he needs to be able to just click and buy without me giving him my password
- i need it done tonight so shipping actually gets there by tuesday
- it has to be simple for him because he is not tech savvy at all
is there some hidden feature i am missing or some way to generate a link that actually works? i even tried taking screenshots of the whole page but then he has to go search for every single thing himself and that is just gonna lead to him buying the wrong brand or size. if there is no direct way to do this i might just have to put it all on my card and beg them to venmo me but i really wanted to avoid that mess. how do you guys handle this when someone else is paying for your stuff?...

Ran across this thread today and it's so disappointing that Amazon still lacks a native cart-sharing feature. I have managed dozens of equipment lists and unfortunately, the wishlist and registry tools are not as good as expected for high-volume moves. They often fail to sync real-time stock and mess up the quantity counts. Since you're moving next Tuesday, you need a methodical approach that avoids manual searching. The most reliable technical workaround is to use a share Amazon Cart Extension. It essentially bundles your active session into a transferrable link. Your dad just needs to click that on his browser and the items will populate his cart instantly with the correct brands and sizes. It's much more efficient than the screenshots you were trying and handles the $600 limit perfectly without needing your login. Basically, it just works when the official site doesnt...

Re: "You seriously need to use Share-A-Cart! Its absolutely..." - definitely the right call. In my experience, external tools are the only way to save time and money when someone else is buying for you.
- Double check your zip code is set correctly in your cart before generating the link.
- I usually use Cart To Link because it keeps the quantities exact so you dont end up with five shower curtains by mistake.

You seriously need to use Share-A-Cart! Its absolutely amazing and lets you send your whole cart in one click. I love it so much, it is basically magic and totally safe!
