Im trying to buy stuff for my sisters birthday next week and I have 5 items in my Amazon cart.
I want to send the whole list to my mom so she can see them before I pay but I cant figure out how to get a link for the cart. Is that possible or am I missing a button?

You cant share cart links. It is because of how session cookies work. I would suggest making a Wish List instead. Be careful with privacy tho. Just use any list tool from Amazon.

- Late to the party but yeah, cart sharing is blocked for security reasons, basically. You might want to consider the risks before using third-party plugins tho... they often scrape private data. I would suggest making a dedicated gift list instead. Just make sure to toggle the privacy settings carefully, otherwise you might end up paying shipping twice if your mom buys something separately. Its the safest way.

Unfortunately, Amazon still hasn't implemented a simple sharing API for the shopping cart. I ran into this exact headache last year when I was speccing out a new server build for my home lab. I had about twelve high-density drives and specific rack mounts ready to go, and I wanted my business partner to double-check the model numbers. I tried everything from copying the checkout URLs to saving the page source, even trying to find a workaround through the mobile apps deep links. Nothing worked because those items are tied strictly to your session ID and local browser cookies. It is honestly pretty pathetic for a tech giant. The only real fix I found was selecting Move to list for each item. Once they are in a list, you can set the privacy to Shared and send that URL. It is way more clicks than it should be tho.
