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:
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.
