So I am trying to organize this huge family reunion we are having in Colorado this July and it is kind of a nightmare to be honest. I have been tasked with buying all the decorations and the snacks and some outdoor games like cornhole and giant jenga and I have been sitting on my laptop for hours just adding things to my Amazon cart. I have about 45 items in there right now and the total is almost $600 which is a lot of money so I need my sister to look at it before I actually buy anything. The problem is I have no clue how to show her what is in my cart.
I thought there would just be a share button or something simple like that but I have been clicking around for twenty minutes and I cannot find anything. I tried to just take screenshots on my phone but since there are so many items I have to take like ten different pictures and it is really hard to keep track of what is what and she says she cant see the prices clearly anyway. Then I tried copying and pasting the links into an email but after the fifth link I realized it was going to take me all night and I still have to finish my actual work for my job.
I am super new to all this tech stuff so I am probably missing something really obvious but is there a tool or a website that lets you just send your whole cart to someone else? I heard someone mention browser extensions once but I dont really know what those are or if they are safe to use with my account. I just want a way for her to see the list and maybe tell me if I should delete some things or add more. Is there an easy way to do this without giving her my login and password? I really dont want to have to start over and make a wishlist if I dont have to because I already have everything ready to go in the cart... any ideas on what the best way to do this is for someone who is not good with computers?
Re: "Unfortunately, Amazon still lacks a native sharing protocol..." - yeah, I had issues with that too. When I was buying gear for my current setup, the wishlists were just not as good as expected. Prices kept jumping around and unfortunately my partner couldnt see the real total. Tbh, it was super frustrating. This share Amazon Cart Extension helped me out and made the whole budgeting part way easier. Hang in there!
> I thought there would just be a share button or something simple like that Honestly, it is a bummer how difficult they make it. Unfortunately, I have had issues with Amazon lists failing to update prices before, so they are not as good as expected. You should check out Share-A-Cart. Its an extension that generates a simple code for her. The pro is its instant, but the con is she needs it too. Still beats manual links imo.
Unfortunately, Amazon still lacks a native sharing protocol for carts. I dealt with this while sourcing hardware for my current setup last year. I tried using wishlists, but they were not as good as expected because they failed to sync real-time quantities and dynamic pricing data.
