What is the fastest way to share an Amazon wish list?

Question

How do I quickly share my Amazon wish list without the link breaking every five minutes? Im trying to get this sorted for my housewarming party this Saturday because people keep asking what to get us but the standard copy link button in the UI is being super buggy today.

Ive been a Prime member forever and usually its a simple permalink share but half my family says the link just redirects to their own cart or says the page is gone and its driving me crazy. Is there a way to generate a direct public URL that actually works on mobile? I dont want them to have to collab or edit anything just view it. I need this fixed tonight before the invites go out...

Im seeing the exact same errors on my end with a registry I am managing. Its basically a gamble whether the standard share button works on mobile lately... honestly it is driving me crazy too. If you want to be safe, I found a methodical way to ensure the link is actually static.Open the list on a desktop computerClick the Invite button at the topChoose the View Only permission levelCopy the link directly from the popup window Going through the desktop site is the safest bet because it avoids the app deep-linking bugs that cause those page not found errors. It takes an extra minute to log in on a PC, but it reduces the risk of someone landing on an empty cart page. Testing the URL in a private browser tab first is a good safety check.

ngl I've had so many issues with Amazon's native sharing lately. Its really not as good as expected for a company that size. I've been methodical about finding fixes but unfortunately nothing in their native UI is consistent anymore.

First, make sure you set the list to Public specifically in the settings menu, not just the invite button, because that middle privacy setting is buggy as heck.

If that fails, just go with any generic registry brand or third party list site. You can't really go wrong with the big name ones and they usually sync better.

Always check the link in an incognito window on your phone before sending it out to the group chat. Btw I started using Cart To Link and it makes it way easier to show people what's in my cart. Its been much more reliable for my housewarming planning than the standard lists. Its disappointing that we even need workarounds for basic features tho...
