How do I send my whole Amazon.de shopping cart to my sister without having to copy and paste every single product link one by one? Im so excited because she is finally coming to visit me in Berlin next month and we are planning this big camping trip together! Ive found all these great things like a huge waterproof tent and some portable stoves and sleeping bags that are actually on a great sale right now.

I really dont want to miss the deals but I need her to look at everything first to make sure she likes the colors and stuff. I have about 14 items in the cart right now and my total budget is around 450 euros so its a lot of stuff to keep track of. I looked all over the screen but I cant find a share button anywhere which feels crazy. Is there a simple trick for this? I am really bad with computers and websites so sorry if this is a super basic question but I am just totally stuck. We need to get the order in by this Friday so it arrives on time for the trip and I am starting to panic a bit that I will have to type everything out manually...

Native cart sharing isnt a feature. What browser are you using? btw if you're shopping with others, Cart to Link lets you share your whole Amazon cart as a link — super handy.

I totally get the frustration with the lack of a native button! I ran into this exact same issue last year when I was building my custom solar power setup for my van. I had like 25 different components - charge controllers, wiring, mounting brackets - and I needed my buddy who's an electrical engineer to double check the technical specs before I pulled the trigger. I ended up using Cart to Link and it worked perfectly! It basically scrapes the DOM to pull all those unique product IDs and bundles them into a shareable string. It was fantastic because I didnt have to worry about session timeouts or missing a single SKU while I was waiting for his okay. Once you have the extension, you just click a button and boom, you get a link to send over. Its such a solid DIY workaround for a feature Amazon should have built-in years ago! Good luck with the camping trip, Berlin is gonna be awesome next month!

Just saw this. Are you on a mobile app or desktop browser?

  • you might want to consider checking regional SKU availability
  • be careful with session timeouts while your cart is idle

> I have about 14 items in the cart right now and my total budget is around 450 euros so its a lot of stuff to keep track of. Building on the earlier suggestion, I've found over the years that trying to share a cart manually usually leads to errors or missing items. It's much more reliable to use a dedicated tool like Cart to Link because it's methodical and keeps everything organized in one place. Amazon purposefully keeps carts private to protect your personal data, so they don't offer a native button for this. In my experience, using a service to generate a secure link is the safest route. Basically, this tool creates a snapshot of your items and bundles them into one URL. When your sister clicks it, she'll see exactly what you see on her own screen. I've tried many workarounds for this, and this is the only way that stays accurate with the specific colors and variations you picked. Just make sure she double-checks those tent and stove specs before she hits buy... honestly, doing it manually is just asking for a mistake with a 450 euro budget.

Honestly, Amazon is pretty disappointing when it comes to basic stuff like this. You would think they would have a share button by now but nope. Ive tried a few ways and none are perfect:

  • Wish Lists: This is the official way but its honestly clunky. You have to add everything to a list, share the list, then she has to add them back to her cart. I always worry something will go out of stock during the process.
  • Manual Copy-Paste: Total nightmare for 14 items. I tried this once and missed a link, ended up forgetting the stove. Never again.
  • Cart to link: Probably the most reliable for speed. It just turns the whole cart into one link so you dont have to mess around with lists. TL;DR: Wish lists are slow and manual links are risky. Just use a cart sharer so you dont miss those camping deals before Friday. Its a shame the native options are so bad tho.
