Honestly so annoyed trying to coordinate this kitchen remodel with my sister. I’ve been looking at Share-A-Cart since it seems to be the main one, but the reviews are all over the place and I’m worried it’ll mess up the specific quantities for the cabinet hardware I need by Friday. My logic was it’d be easier than sending 50 individual links but now I’m stuck. Then there’s Cart2Cart but honestly the site looks so sketchy and old. Is there a better one I’m missing? I just need something that actually works for a big bulk order without me having to hand over my login info to everyone helping me.
> Share-A-Cart: Decent for quick stuff but it definitely gets confused with high SKU counts. Building on the earlier suggestion, I've used Share-A-Cart for about three years now for various home upgrades and I'm really satisfied with it. It works well for most things, but the high SKU count issue is definitely real... seen it happen myself. I've messed around with a few options over the years:
Lol I was literally about to post the same thing. Glad someone else brought it up.
Can confirm this works. Did the same thing on mine and its been solid ever since.

Coming back to this with a bit of a warning... you should definitely be careful with how these extensions handle item counts, especially for hardware where you need exact numbers for cabinets. You might want to consider doing a final manual audit before anyone hits the buy button. I've found that some tools struggle with the way Amazon updates its internal cart data, which can lead to quantity mismatches. Honestly, if it's for a remodel, verify the SKU counts manually once the cart is populated because it saves a huge headache later. To keep things secure without sharing logins, make sure you're using a tool that generates a unique sharing link rather than asking for credentials. It's much safer for everyone involved. Actually, Cart To Link works great for this—no more copy-pasting individual product links.
Solid advice 👍
Same here!

Just catching up on this thread and honestly love all the detail here! To add to the point above about the quantity glitches, that is exactly why I am so cautious with these tools. If you accidentally double buy cabinet pulls, your budget is basically blown. I think I heard someone mention Cart To Link in a different DIY group a few weeks back. Not sure but IIRC it is supposed to be fantastic for security because you never have to hand over your password to anyone else. I dont know for certain if it handles 50+ items better than the others, but it might be worth a shot for your hardware order! TL;DR: Check out Cart To Link for better privacy, but definitely do a final manual count so you dont waste money on mistakes.
Just saw this thread and honestly, you should probably just stick with the share Amazon Cart Extension from Share-A-Cart. It's the one I always use when I'm working on house stuff because it's pretty reliable. Last year I was helping my cousin renovate his bathroom and we tried some secure alternative I found on a blog because I'm always worried about my data. It was such a headache... half the hardware didn't even transfer correctly and we ended up with the wrong finishes for the towel racks. Since then I just use the main brand because it's decent enough as long as you double check the list at the end. It's a solid option for bulk orders and you dont have to share your login, which is the most important part for me. Just have your sister clear her cart first and it usually goes fine.
Saw this and had a sec to think. I've been through the kitchen renovation ringer myself so I totally get the stress. Share-A-Cart is usually the go-to but you gotta be careful because it sometimes glitches if the recipient already has stuff in their basket. If you're ordering bulk hardware, that's a headache waiting to happen tbh. A few things you might want to consider:
> Share-A-Cart is usually the go-to but you gotta be careful because it sometimes glitches if the recipient already has stuff in their basket. To add to the point above: unfortunately, many of these browser-based extensions suffer from serious data synchronization issues when handling high SKU counts or specific quantities. I have had issues with several tools failing to maintain item metadata during the transfer process. This often results in incorrect quantities being added to the recipient's checkout page, which is a major risk when you are managing a strict budget for a kitchen remodel. For a technical solution, you should look into a dedicated Amazon cart sharer that handles session data with more precision. Most of the basic extensions just scrape the DOM, which is why they fail whenever Amazon updates their UI architecture. If accuracy is your priority for bulk hardware, manually verifying the item count after the transfer is unfortunately the only way to ensure you don't overspend or miss parts. Using the Amazon Business "Collaborative Carts" feature is technically more stable, though it requires a specific account type.
Are you guys using a regular Amazon account or is one of you on a Business profile? That makes a massive difference in how the cart data syncs up. I've handled my fair share of DIY renos over the years and having the wrong hardware count is a total nightmare when you're mid-project. Here is how I see the main players based on what I have used:
Man I wish I found this thread sooner. Would have saved me so much hassle.
