Is there a reliable extension to share my Amazon.ca cart with someone else because im honestly losing my mind trying to do this manually. Im trying to organize this big group gift for my cousin shes having a baby in October and we are all in Toronto but my family is spread out everywhere. My sister and I have a budget of about 300 bucks to get a bunch of stuff like a high chair and those little onesies and a bunch of diapering stuff but every time I find something I have to copy the link and then go to our group chat and paste it and its just taking forever. I have like 20 things in my cart right now and i just want her to be able to see the whole list and maybe even just buy it on her account if she wants.
Im sorry if this is a super basic thing i just dont really get how these browser extensions work like do i just download it? Is it safe? I dont want some random company seeing my credit card or my address or whatever. I tried looking at the chrome store but there are so many and some of them look kind of sketchy or they have bad reviews saying they dont work for the Canadian site. It seems like everything is always made for the US amazon.com and then it breaks when you try to use it on the .ca version which is so annoying.
I really need to get this ordered by Friday so it arrives in time for the weekend party. If there is a way to just like click a button and send her the whole cart that would be a lifesaver. Is that even possible or am I just dreaming lol. Let me know if you guys have used anything that actually works and isnt going to give my computer a virus...

Regarding what #1 said about "I used Share-A-Cart for my daughters registry last..."
- I have actually used that tool myself for several high-budget group purchases over the years. In my experience, it is one of the most reliable options because it handles the regional transitions between .com and .ca much better than the smaller, more obscure extensions you see on the Chrome store. Technically, these extensions work by scraping the ASINs (Amazon Standard Identification Numbers) from your current page. They create a temporary manifest that can be decrypted by the same extension on another computer. It is basically just a shortcut for adding items to a basket. It doesnt actually access your payment methods or personal address because that information is only loaded during the final checkout stage, which the extension never touches. I have tried many alternatives, and while some are okay, they often break when Amazon updates their site layout. If you want a non-extension backup, you could technically use the built-in Registry feature, tho it is a bit more tedious for a one-time gift. For your Friday deadline, the extension route is definitely the most efficient way to handle 20+ items without losing your mind... TL;DR: Download the Share-A-Cart extension. It specifically supports Amazon.ca and is safe because it only transfers item lists, not your personal or financial data.

I used Share-A-Cart for my daughters registry last year. Just be careful with other random ones tho, most of them are honestly just sketchy data scrapers trying to steal your shopping info.

^ This. Also, in my experience coordinating big family gifts, I've wasted so much time on manual links. One year I accidentally sent the wrong color stroller because I got mixed up. Honestly, my current setup involves Cart to Link because it just grabs everything in one shot. It avoids those pricey mistakes when everyone is buying stuff separately... saves me a massive headache every single time.
