How can I share my Amazon shopping cart for someone else to pay?

Question

sorry if this is a dumb question but my uncle is paying for my move-in supplies and I'm stuck. I thought there would be a share link in the cart but I cant find it anywhere. I dont want to give him my password so how do I get him to pay for my stuff tonight? I'm so confused...

I spent way too much time troubleshooting this exact issue last summer. Honestly, its pretty disappointing that such a massive platform makes this so difficult. I remember trying to help my cousin buy college gear. We spent forever trying to sync screens. Basically a nightmare... Unfortunately, I had issues with the native Wish List method. It often hides specific coupons or shipping discounts that only apply to the original user session. Before I dig deeper into the tech side, are you guys both using Prime, or just him? And are you on a desktop or the mobile app? It changes the options quite a bit. Here is what I usually suggest:Create a Registry instead of a Wish List. It actually tracks what has been bought better than a standard list.Use a tool like Share-A-Cart. Its a browser extension that bundles your cart into a single code he can import on his end.Last resort is just sending him the ASIN numbers for each product, but thats a total slog if you have more than five items.

Honestly, Amazon makes this way harder than it needs to be. You definitely shouldnt share your password with anyone, even family, because that opens up your whole account history and saved credit card info. I would suggest using a tool like Cart To Link to handle this. I use it to send my grocery lists to my roommate so we dont double buy stuff. It basically creates a simple link he can open and pay for on his own end without needing your login. Just be careful to review the list one last time before you send it though. If you try to do the whole wishlist route, it usually ends up being a total mess with shipping addresses and prime settings. Stick to a link generator, its much more reliable for move-in supplies and keeps your personal account info safe.
