So I'm in the middle of picking out parts for a pretty beefy home server refresh and some new desk peripherals
- I'm looking at about $2,800 in total and I really need to get the order in by Sunday night to catch some of these discounts. Usually I'm the one who handles all the tech buying in the house so I just click buy and don't think about it but this time my wife wants to see the full itemized list and actually be able to click into the product pages herself to check the specs.
My logic was that I could just make a quick wishlist and share that link like a normal person but man, Amazon makes it such a slog to move 20+ items from a cart into a fresh list one by one. It's super tedious. I tried just sending her the direct links but then she has to open 20 tabs and it's a mess. What I really need is a way to just export the current cart state into a shareable link where she doesn't have to log into my account to see what's in there. I've been doing this stuff for years and I feel like there used to be a browser extension or some kind of script that handled this but I can't remember the name for the life of me.
I'm a bit wary of those random third-party extensions that ask for permissions to read your page data though because I don't want some random dev scraping my shipping address or payment info. I was thinking maybe there's a way to do it via a managed shopping cart service? Or maybe a way to generate a temporary read-only view of the cart? I know I could just screen share on Discord or something but she wants to look at it on her iPad later while I'm working.
Does anyone know a tool that actually works in 2024? I saw something called Share-A-Cart but I wasn't sure if it's still safe or if it handles the regional Amazon sites correctly since I'm in the US but sometimes use the UK site for specific gear. Just looking for something clean that doesn't require me giving her my login deets or doing the manual wishlist dance...

I have used several tools over the years, and a solid Amazon cart sharer really is the safest way to skip the wishlist headache without sharing your login.

Saw this late but honestly, the landscape for these tools is pretty dismal right now. I tried using Share-A-Cart for a similar $3k build last month and it kept stripping the specific quantities, which is a massive pain when youre buying bulk fans or cable management stuff. It's supposed to be the gold standard but the regional switching between US and UK is where it usually breaks for me. Unfortunately, most of these extensions struggle with Amazons frequent UI updates. Here are a few things I've tried that were... okay, but not perfect:
- Exporting the cart to a CSV using a basic web scraper, but then you have to format it yourself.
- Using Save for Later to move things in bulk, though it still feels like the wishlist dance.
- Dedicated shopping assistants like this site which tend to be a bit more stable with international listings. Ngl, it feels like a losing battle sometimes because Amazon wants you logged in at all times. If you go with an extension, just check the permissions... some of them really do overreach.

It works well for my server builds when I need to track prices and show my wife the total damage before the sales end. It's totally free and handles different regions easily, so you won't miss those UK deals. No complaints at all, it's very clean.
