Is there a way to move cart items between Amazon accounts?

Question

I've been spending the last few nights building this massive cart for our new place in Chicago—we finally moved out of our tiny studio and into a real apartment and the housewarming party is in like three weeks. I have about 42 items in my cart right now ranging from weirdly specific light fixtures to bulk snacks. The issue is that my husband just told me we should probably buy the kitchen stuff and some of the furniture through his business account because of some tax thing his accountant mentioned, plus he has a ton of points on that card. I really dont want to have to go back and find every single item again because half of them were from those weird "see all buying options" pages and it took forever to find the right sellers with the best shipping times. I looked online and saw people talking about just making a public Wish List and then adding to cart from there, but some people on Reddit said that when you do that it doesnt always carry over the specific variations like color or size or if you chose a used-like-new option. I also saw something about Amazon Household but that looks like it's just for sharing Prime Video and stuff? Is there actually a way to just like... push my cart over to his login or even just a way to share the whole cart as a link that actually works?

Unfortunately there is no direct way to just transfer a cart, which is honestly super annoying. I had issues with the Wish List method before and it was not as good as expected because it definitely loses specific sellers and variations sometimes. Amazon Household is basically useless for this situation too. You will probably just have to share the list and double check every single item manually. Such a hassle.

Regarding what #2 said about "Building on the earlier suggestion, I went through..." that same nightmare during a move a while back. In my experience, when you are dealing with a business account for tax reasons, you really cant afford to have the wrong item or seller show up on the invoice. I've tried many different ways to sync accounts over the years, and honestly, there is no easy button that works 100% of the time. The most reliable method I found is to actually use the Amazon Registry feature rather than a standard Wish List. For some reason, the metadata for specific sellers and variations stays a bit more stable in a registry. You can set it to private and just share the link with him. But even then, I would be cautious. Since you mentioned those see all buying options items, sometimes the specific seller you chose might sell out or the price might shift by the time he logs in. Tbh, if I were in your shoes, I would just have him log into his account on your computer right next to yours. Have him copy the ASIN numbers-that long code in the product details-directly into his search bar. It ensures the business account is getting the exact tax-deductible item you intended. Its a bit of a manual process, but it is much safer than hoping a shared link doesnt glitch out and lose your specific shipping preferences. Plus, it guarantees his points are applied correctly to the right transaction.

Building on the earlier suggestion, I went through this exact same thing when I was renovating my patio last summer! It was such a nightmare because I had nearly 50 items and half were those super specific Warehouse deals. I tried the whole wishlist trick and let me tell you, it was a total disaster because the specific sellers I picked vanished and the sizes got all messed up. I ended up spending my entire Saturday morning with two different browsers open side-by-side, literally copy-pasting titles to find the exact same listings on my partners account. It was honestly such a drag but here is what I learned from that mess:

Open the items in separate tabs first to double check the seller name

Always verify the Buying Options match exactly before hitting add to cart

Keep a spreadsheet if you are doing a big move like Chicago It feels so good once it is finally done though, the feeling of that first night in a new place is just amazing! Honestly, I just use Cart To Link whenever I need to send my whole Amazon list to someone, it's way faster than taking a bunch of screenshots.
