Is there a way to send an Amazon cart to someone else?

So I've been helping my aunt pick out a bunch of stuff for her kitchen renovation up in Chicago and I've got like 20 things in my cart right now. It's mostly hardware, some lights, and a faucet that's on sale until Sunday so I'm kinda in a rush to get this done before the prices jump back up. I really don't want to just buy it on my account and have her pay me back because it's like $850 total and that's just a huge headache with the bank transfers and venmo limits.

I tried looking up how to just send her the whole cart so she can just click checkout on her end with her own credit card. I saw some people talking about using the Wish List feature but honestly that feels super clunky? From what I can tell she'd have to go through and add every single item to her own cart one by one from the list and I just know she's gonna mess up the quantities or pick the wrong finish for the cabinet pulls if I leave it to her. Then I saw some third-party browser extensions like Share-a-Cart but I'm a bit nervous about telling her to install random plugins on her chrome since she's not tech-savvy at all and I dont want to break her computer. Is there like a hidden share button or an official way to do this that I'm missing?

Amazon doesnt have an official button. For safety, try:

  • Shared Wish Lists
  • Logging into her account It is way more reliable than extensions that might mess up her computer. Good luck!

Wish lists are definitely the safest way, ngl. This Amazon cart sharer is a decent, practical way to send her everything so she doesnt have to install any plugins.

To add to the point above: it is honestly a huge bummer that Amazon still hasn't built a native way to do this. Youd think a company with their data infrastructure would have a simple cart-to-json export, but their session tokens are tied so tightly to individual accounts. Unfortunately, there is no hidden button you're missing... its just a clunky experience for everyone involved, tbh. I usually recommend Amazon cart sharer because it handles the SKU mapping better than a manual list, but it still feels like a workaround compared to a direct transfer. Since you're worried about the hardware finishes, are you looking at specific brands like Delta or Moen, or are these generic sellers? Also, does your aunt have a Prime account or is she just using a standard one? Knowing that might change how the shipping and bulk discounts calculate when you move the items over.
