Planning this big camping trip to Algonquin with five friends next month and trying to coordinate all the gear we need without buying doubles. I was looking at the Share-A-Cart extension because it seems simple but then I saw some people just use a shared Wishlist or something called Cart-Share.
Honestly wishlists are a pain because you have to move everything over manually and it doesnt always update the quantities right. We are on a pretty tight budget since we are students so seeing the final cart total with taxes before we e-transfer each other is key. Has anyone used these for Amazon Canada specifically or is there a better way to do it?

I had issues with the standard extensions before and they just werent as good as expected for group buys. Honestly, wishlists are such a headache for coordination. I would definitely recommend checking out carttolink.com to keep things simple instead. It is way more helpful for seeing the exact total before you guys split the bill. Good luck with the trip!

> seeing the final cart total with taxes before we e-transfer each other is key. To add to the point above: do you require real-time synchronization or just a static data snapshot? Cart to Link is a Chrome extension that converts your Amazon cart into a shareable link.

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

This is exactly what I needed to hear. Youre a lifesaver honestly.

> seeing the final cart total with taxes before we e-transfer each other is key. ^ This. Also, quick question... are you guys planning to place one giant order on a single account or are you just trying to build a master list that everyone buys from separately? Makes a huge difference for how you handle the math. In my experience, trying to DIY a group buy with spreadsheets or screenshots is just asking for a headache. Over the years I've seen so many friendships get strained over five bucks of missed tax lol. I'm usually a bit cautious about what I install in my browser because of privacy, but carttolink.com is actually a solid way to handle this. It basically just generates a link from your cart data so you dont have to share passwords or anything sketchy. It keeps the whole process transparent which is huge when you're a student on a tight budget. Definitely better than a wishlist which always seems to glitch out on the quantities...
