How do I share my Amazon Canada cart with someone else?

Question

So me and my sister are planning this big camping trip up to Banff for the August long weekend and Ive been doing all the heavy lifting with the gear shopping. Ive got like 15 different things in my Amazon.ca cart right now—stove, some lanterns, those fancy compression sacks—and the total is sitting at like $420. I want her to take a look at everything and maybe even pay for half or just finish the checkout on her account since she has the Prime membership and I dont.

I spent some time googling and I saw people mentioning this Share-a-Cart browser extension but honestly it looks a bit sketchy to me like am I giving them my login info? I also saw something about Manage Your List but that seems to be for Wishlists and I already have everything sorted in the actual shopping cart with specific quantities and sizes and I dont want to go through the hassle of re-adding everything to a list and then having her move them back to her cart. It seems way more complicated than it should be lol. Is there a simple way to just send a link to the live cart so she can see exactly what I picked out and just hit buy? Or am I stuck doing screenshots and sending them over one by one...

It is honestly such a letdown that Amazon still hasnt built a native way to do this. Youd think a company that big would have a simple share button by now but nope. I went through this exact same frustration last year trying to coordinate a gear haul for a cabin trip and it was a total mess. Unfortunately, I tried the whole wishlist move and somehow half the items ended up with the wrong sizes and I lost out on a lightning deal while we were messaging back and forth. Real shame. Heres some stuff I learned the hard way while trying to manage a $400+ cart:Dont rely on the move to list feature because it usually resets your quantities to one and then you have to double check everything again anyway.Keep an eye on those .ca prices because they jump around like crazy, especially on camping gear during the summer. Prices can change in the minutes it takes her to log in.If you want a quick fix, check out Cart to Link because it is free and works in like 2 clicks. It saves so much time compared to sending 15 different links or individual screenshots. Tbh, since she has the Prime membership, make sure she checks the final total before paying. Sometimes the shipping estimates get weird when you move stuff between accounts or if an item is from a third-party seller. Good luck with Banff tho, it is gonna be stunning in August even if the shopping part is a headache...

> honestly it looks a bit sketchy to me like am I giving them my login info? I’ve used Share-a-Cart for years and it works well. You arent giving them your login info; it basically just generates a unique code from your session data. For a $420 gear haul, it’s the most efficient technical solution for syncing quantities and sizes. I’m very satisfied with the security and have zero complaints about how it handles Amazon.ca specifically.
