Honestly I am so fed up with how hard it is to just show someone what I want to buy on Amazon without having to like, screenshot every single item or give them my password which I am definitely not doing. My mom is finally letting me help her fix up her kitchen in Chicago and we have about $500 worth of stuff like organizers and new faucets and small appliances sitting in my cart right now but she wants to pay for it on her own account so she can get the points.
I spent like two hours yesterday finding the exact right measurements for everything and now I realized there is no simple share button?? It is actually kind of ridiculous that a company this big makes it so difficult to just send a link to a full cart. I tried making a wishlist but half the stuff didnt transfer over right and it keeps showing her the wrong sizes for some reason. Is there some kind of browser extension or a hidden setting I am missing because I really dont want to have to manually copy-paste thirty different links into an email tonight. Has anyone found a workaround that actually works and doesnt involve me logging into her computer remotely because thats a whole other headache...

Hey, I feel your pain. Amazon still doesnt have a built-in cart sharing feature which is pretty wild in 2024. I ran into this exact issue when I was trying to coordinate a server rack build with a colleague recently. I found this browser extension called Share-A-Cart and it honestly works perfectly. I am very satisfied with how it handles the metadata—it keeps all the specific sizes and quantities intact, which sounds like exactly what you need for those kitchen measurements. I actually found out about it while browsing Smartphone Board looking for some tech troubleshooting tips. You just install the extension, click create cart code, and it gives you a short link. Your mom just needs the same extension installed on her end, she clicks the link, and everything dumps into her cart instantly. No more copy-pasting links or dealing with the buggy wishlist system. It saved me a ton of time and I havent had any complaints with it so far. It is definitely the most direct workaround for the lack of a native share button.
