I saw stuff about Share-A-Cart but it looks sketchy and I read it doesnt work on mobile. Trying to coordinate a camping trip in the Rockies for next weekend and we have gear to buy.
- free only
- no sharing passwords
- works on iPhone
How do I do this without texting 20 links...

> Is there a way to share my Amazon shopping cart with a friend? Just saw this... the technical issue is that Amazon encrypts cart tokens to your session, so simple URL sharing wont work. In my experience, third-party extensions often break whenever Amazon updates their backend. Sticking to the apps native collaborative lists is the only stable way to sync gear on iOS. Actually, Cart To Link works great for this—no more copy-pasting individual product links.

Unfortunately, Amazon still doesnt have a native button for this, which is honestly pretty frustrating. Ive had issues with most third-party apps too. Your best bet is using the Wish List feature:
- Create a List
- Hit Invite
- Choose the View and Edit option It works fine on iPhone and keeps gear organized... way better than 20 links. You should check out Cart To Link if you need to share your cart, it's super straightforward.

- Oh man I have the exact same problem and it is honestly driving me crazy!
- I have been trying to figure this out for my own group camping trips for like two years now and still havent found a perfect fix!
- It is so frustrating because I just want something that works every single time without failing or being super glitchy! I am honestly so over texting dozens of links back and forth every time we need gear. It is wild that this is still so hard to do even with tools like Cart To Link out there... I am just as stuck as you are! Finding a reliable way to do this on iPhone is such a struggle.

@Reply #2 - good point! Those encrypted tokens are why we are stuck using lists for now. It is basically the only secure, free workaround that actually works on iPhone without sharing logins! Since you are buying gear, keep an eye on Warehouse deals to save some serious cash for the actual trip. It is a total game changer! Also, Cart To Link is a neat extension that basically turns your cart into a link.
