How can I share my Amazon shopping cart with someone else?

Question

So I am moving into my new place in literally five days and my roommate and I are trying to split the cost of some household essentials like cleaning supplies, a microwave, and some kitchen stuff. We have a strict $400 budget total and we need to order this stuff tonight so it arrives on time. I have everything sitting in my Amazon cart right now but I need her to look at it and approve the final items before we buy.

Im looking at a couple ways to do this but Im super anxious about the best approach. Here are the options Im considering:

Creating a shared wishlist and sending it to her. But Im worried this wont show the exact quantities I put in the cart and it seems like a hassle to move everything over.

Using one of those chrome extensions like Share-a-Cart. It seems easy but honestly Im kinda paranoid about privacy and letting some random extension access my Amazon account data.

Just giving her my login info. But I really dont want her seeing my search history or past orders (some are personal gifts for family).

Is there a simpler way to just send my actual active cart to her so she can look at it and we can check out? Which of these options is the safest and fastest way to do this without messing up the order?

> Using one of those chrome extensions like Share-a-Cart. It seems easy but honestly Im kinda paranoid about privacy To add to the point above: I completely get being paranoid about those extensions. I tried the wishlist route last year when moving and it was unfortunately a total disaster. It doesnt track quantities properly and we ended up with three shower curtains and no trash cans. Not as good as expected at all. I also looked into Amazon Household, but unfortunately, that requires sharing payment methods. Super awkward with a new roommate. Honestly, if you want to avoid extensions, the cleanest manual way is to move everything to a Registry instead of a wishlist. Registries actually let you set quantities and track what is purchased in real-time, unlike standard wishlists. Still a bit of a chore to move them over, but way safer than giving away your login info.

In my experience, the Share-a-Cart extension is honestly the fastest way. Ive tried many workarounds over the years and this one is safe since it doesnt need your login. Here is the quick way to do it:

Grab the extension (it only reads the cart items, not your private data).

Click 'Create Cart Code' to generate a link.

Send her the link so she can load it instantly on her end. Super easy and keeps your account secure.
