How can I share my Amazon Canada cart with a family member?

So my sister and I are trying to organize this big family reunion thing for next weekend up near Muskoka and we have like a $500 budget for snacks, decorations, and supplies. I am currently in Toronto and she is way out in Guelph so we are trying to do this all online to save time but man, Amazon Canada makes this way harder than it needs to be. I have got like 45 items in my cart already but I really need her to look at it and tell me if I am missing the specific brand of coffee my dad likes or if I got too many paper plates.

I did some digging online and found this Amazon Household thing but it really just seems to be for sharing Prime shipping and Kindle books? I couldnt find a button that just says share cart or anything like that. Then I saw people talking about this browser extension called Share-A-Cart or something similar but I am kinda hesitant to install random stuff on my browser that reads my shopping data, you know? Plus I am not sure if it even works on the .ca site because a lot of these tips seem to be for the US version of Amazon and they usually have different features.

Here is what I am looking for:

  • needs to be really simple because my mom is going to be looking at it too and she isnt great with tech
  • must work on Amazon.ca specifically
  • needs to let my sister add things or at least let me send the whole list in one go without me having to copy-paste 40 links into a messy email
  • free is preferred since we are already spending a lot on the food and the rental

Is there some hidden feature I am missing in the account settings or maybe a way to turn a cart into a public list that she can then just move to her own cart? I really dont want to spend three hours tonight screenshotting my screen and texting her images one by one. It feels like such a basic thing to want to do but I am totally stuck here...

Try using an online generator to export the cart. I use Cart to Link whenever I'm doing collaborative shopping — just generate a link and share it on WhatsApp or whatever.

In my experience, Amazon.ca has no native cart sharing. Avoid third-party extensions as they steal data. Instead:

  • Create a shared Wish List
  • Invite her to collaborate It's the safest way.

Man I wish I found this thread sooner. Would have saved me so much hassle.
