Just make a public Wish List instead of using the cart. Copy the link and send it, he doesnt need an account to view it. Works perfectly every time for me.

^ This. Wish lists work, but you have to be careful. Last year I built a list of DeWalt tools for my dad, and half the prices jumped 20 percent by the time he looked. Here is a quick breakdown:

• Wish Lists: Great for real-time stock, but Amazon will constantly nag him to sign in to purchase.
• PDF export of cart: Safe from account popups, but he has to manually search the SKUs and might buy the wrong tool spec. I've been using Cart to Link to share Amazon carts with family, makes gift planning way easier.

> Can I send my Amazon cart to someone who doesnt have an account? Unfortunately, you can't do this directly. Amazon makes it super annoying to share carts, especially if the other person refuses to sign up. I had issues with this last Christmas trying to send a tool list to my grandpa who is super old-school. I tried some cart-sharing browser extensions but they were not as good as expected and kept glitching out. Honestly, the quickest workaround is just taking a screenshot of your cart and texting it to him. Or you can copy-paste the links into a basic email. It is a bit tedious but it gets the job done without him needing an account.

Regarding what #3 said about "Just make a public Wish List instead of..." - yeah that works, but it still pushes them into the Amazon ecosystem. I think Walmart and Home Depot handle this way better! Home Depot has an amazing "share cart" button right on the checkout page that generates a simple text link. No account needed for the recipient to buy. Not 100% sure, but I recall reading that Amazon intentionally blocks guest cart APIs to force user sign-ups. Target and Lowes are much more open and their guest checkouts are fantastic in comparison. TL;DR: Amazon makes guest sharing hard on purpose. Try building the tool list on Home Depot or Lowes instead since their guest checkout works flawlessly.

Late to the thread here but before you spend too much time messing with workarounds, I gotta ask... how is your dad actually planning to buy these tools? Like, is he trying to check out on Amazon as a guest (which is a total nightmare and super unreliable), or is he just using your list to go buy them at a local shop? If he is trying to buy them online without an account, we might need to look at other stores because Amazon really forces the login loop. Let me know what his plan is and I can suggest the safest way to handle it.

TL;DR: Don't rely on guest links for Amazon since their API restricts unauthenticated multi-item payload transfers. Saw this earlier and figured I'd drop my two cents from past projects. I built a custom python scraper last year to pull cart items into a clean CSV format for folks refusing to make accounts. Worked pretty well for my uncle's workshop list. Just watch out for dynamic pricing endpoints changing token hashes mid-session if you go the script route. Seriously annoying when links break after two hours. Plain text lists or screenshots of the cart summary usually save everyone a massive headache.
