Is there a way to share my Amazon shopping cart with someone else?

Question

so basically im trying to help out this local animal rescue near me in Austin and they gave me a budget of about 800 dollars to get some new supplies and office stuff for their back room. i spent all morning picking out the perfect stuff like - heavy duty printers - boxes of paper - those fancy ergonomic chairs and some cleaning supplies too.

heres the problem though... i have everything sitting in my amazon cart right now and i have no clue how to actually get the list to the lady who runs the place so she can pay for it. i thought there would be like a big share button or something but i cant find anything and im starting to feel pretty stupid lol. i dont want to just buy it and have them pay me back because i dont have that much money in my bank account right now and they have the official organization card anyway.

ive been looking all over the screen for like ten minutes. i tried clicking the cart icon and looking for a link but nothing. do i have to make a separate list? or is there a way to just send the whole cart over in one go? im really bad with technology so sorry if this is like a super basic thing that everyone knows. i really have no idea where to start with this stuff.

my main goals for this are:

it has to be free to use

i really dont want to share my personal login or password with her for obvious reasons

it needs to show the exact items and quantities i picked out

i need to do this by tomorrow morning because she wants to place the order before the weekend

is there an app for this? or like a hidden setting somewhere in the account? i tried googling it but all the results were about business accounts and prime sharing and stuff like that which just made me more confused. maybe i could just take a screenshot but that seems really clunky since shed have to find every single item herself. if anyone has a better way to do this please let me know...

Honestly, Amazon is kinda weird about this because they really want you to be the one hitting the buy button. I ran into this exact same mess last year when I was helping my sisters preschool get some new rugs and craft supplies. I spent like three hours picking out these specific markers and heavy-duty storage bins, just to realize there is no magic share button for the cart. It is super frustrating, right? I would suggest you stop looking for a cart link because it just doesnt exist. What you might want to consider doing is moving everything to a Wish List instead. Be careful though, because if you just add them to a list from the product page, you might end up with different quantities than what you have in your cart. I made that mistake once and the school ended up with way more stuff than they asked for... it was a whole thing. It took forever to get the refund processed. The safest way is to go into your cart and click Move to list for every single item. Once you have them all in a list, make sure to set the privacy to Shared or Public, otherwise the lady at the rescue wont be able to see anything when you send the link. Just hit the Invite button on the list page and send her the view-only link. It is basically the only free way to do it without handing over your password, which you definitely should never do. Just double check the quantities on the list before you send it over tho. Oh, and if you really want to make it easy, tell her she can just click add all to cart from her end once she opens the link you sent.
