Does Amazon support sharing carts between accounts?

Ok so yeah, no true shared/live cart (afaik). Pro tip: use Amazon **Collaborative Shopping Lists** (built-in “Lists”) — closest thing to cart collab without screenshots. Both of you can add/remove, then ONE person moves items to cart to checkout. Also check Honey Browser Extension (free) and Keepa - Amazon Price Tracker (free) to time deals + avoid overpaying. Handy esp in the US w/ winter shipping delays to some areas lol

Oh man, been there — over the years I’ve tried many ways and afaik Amazon still doesn’t do a shared/live cart between separate accounts. TL;DR: closest cheap workaround is a shared wishlist + move everything to “Buy Now” later. For actual cart-like collab, use Amazon Alexa Shopping List / shared lists in the app (free), then one of you adds + checks out. Not perfect, but less screenshot chaos lol

Same here!

Hmm, I’ve had a different experience in the sense that I stopped trying to “share a cart” at all… it’s just too easy to mis-click checkout or mix payment/shipping, esp with separate Prime/payment methods. Safety-first: keep accounts separate and share *inputs*.

- **Option A: Share a List + “Add to Cart” individually**: pretty reliable, no weird permissions. Con: you still lose exact cart state (Subscribe & Save, shipping grouping).
- **Option B: Use “Save for later” as a staging area on ONE account**: partner reviews via screen share / sitting together. Pro: keeps cart logic intact. Con: not async.
- **Option C: Copy/paste ASIN links into a shared doc**: nerdy but accurate. Pro: exact item. Con: manual.

What’s your main pain point — quantities/duplicates, or shipping/Subscribe & Save stuff?

Ok so basically the consensus is: Amazon doesn’t support a *shared/live* cart across two separate accounts (and yeah, lots of us have looked for it). People in here landed on “share inputs, not the cart” — wishlists/lists for coordination, then one person does the actual checkout.

Background/why: the cart is tightly coupled to account-level stuff (Prime eligibility, address book, payment methods, promo pricing, Subscribe & Save rules, etc). If Amazon let two accounts co-edit one cart, you’d immediately hit conflicts like “whose Prime shipping applies?”, “which card is used?”, and “why did the price change?” It’s basically designed to be a private staging area, not a collaborative object.

Closest DIY workaround that keeps checkout simple: make a shared List, but be intentional about it. Use it like a pre-cart: add items there first, both of you review/trim duplicates, and only when it’s “final” does the buyer move items into cart and place the order. For the stuff where shipping/Subscribe & Save matters, I’ve had decent luck adding a note in the list like “needs S&S” or “must arrive by Tue” so you dont forget at checkout.

If you want something more cart-ish without screenshots, copy/paste the product links into a shared note (Google Keep/Notes app) and treat that as the merge lane. Not fancy, but honestly it’s cheap, fast, and doesnt cause accidental checkouts. gl!

Ok so afaik, unfortunately Amazon doesn’t let you share a *live* cart across 2 separate accounts — I’ve looked and had issues with this too. Option A: share an Amazon wishlist (easy, but no true checkout/shipping/Subscribe & Save). Option B: use Amazon Household + one checkout account (simplest checkout, but you lose separate Prime/payment control). Option C: copy-paste item links into a shared note (annoying, but most accurate). gl!

Late to the party but this whole thread is 💯. Glad I found it.

@Reply #1 - good point! Basically, Amazon just doesnt have a native way to do this yet because of how they link payments and Prime to specific logins. Its kinda annoying but makes sense from their security side tbh. If you are looking for a decent middle ground, here is what usually works:

• Set up a shared list and invite the other person so you both can add or delete stuff.
• Have one person do the final checkout while the other just keeps an eye on the total.
• Use a third-party extension to watch the price swings. I usually say just go with any browser extension from a reputable dev that handles price history. You should definitely check out PriceDropCatch if you want to see if those deals you are sharing are actually worth the money or just a marketing trick. It saves a lot of headache before you hit that buy button... or wait for the other person to hit it lol.
