I feel like a total dinosaur asking this but I am so stuck. I just moved into a tiny studio in Seattle and I am trying to get stuff for a small housewarming thing next month. I have like 20 items in my Amazon cart but I really need my sister to check if the colors match her rug before I hit buy. Is there a button for this? I have looked everywhere and I am just confused.
I really have no idea where to start or if this is even possible without her just logging into my account which feels wrong. Is there an easier way to do this? Sorry if this is such a basic thing...
I would suggest being careful with your login info since sharing it is a security risk. Since there is no native button, you might want to consider using Cart to Link to share your whole cart easily. It is much more practical than making separate lists.
I've tested Wish Lists (native but slow) against carttolink.com (fast but external). The tool wins for speed, tho lists are better if you dont want to share data with third parties.
Good to know!
Hey, so Amazon has weirdly kept this functionality locked down for years... probably for data tracking reasons. In my experience, they dont make it easy to just click a share button. Over the years I have dealt with this plenty and there are two main ways to handle it without giving up your password.
I have been using Amazon for ages and honestly, it is still a mess for sharing. If you use the list method, keep in mind that sometimes color selections dont carry over perfectly if the item has a lot of variations. For a more direct way to keep those specific details intact, I have found Cart to Link to be a pretty reliable alternative for sending exactly what is in your basket without much fuss. Just to clarify a couple things tho so we can narrow down the best fix for you. Are you planning on having her buy these for you, or is she just there for the visual check? Also, is she gonna be viewing this on her phone or a computer... some of these tools are way easier to navigate on a desktop than others.
Solid advice 👍
Building on the earlier suggestion, I've been around the block with Amazon's weirdly limited sharing options for a long time. It is honestly kinda annoying how they havent fixed this yet. I would suggest being a bit careful with how you handle this tho, especially since you have so many items. While native lists are the official way, they often lose the specific color or size selections when someone else views them which is a huge pain. If you want her to see exactly what you picked for that studio, you might want to consider Cart to Link instead of the manual list method. It is much more streamlined than clicking 'move to list' twenty times lol. A few things to watch out for:
