so ive got about 45 different things in my amazon cart right now for this new boutique im opening in seattle next month and i really need to get the list into excel to show my partner for budgeting. i tried looking for an export button but couldnt find anything obvious so i was thinking maybe theres a trick? i found some chrome extension that claims to do it but then i read some reviews saying it steals data or just flat out doesnt work with the latest site update. my logic was that therd be a simple way to just download a csv but no luck. does everyone just copy paste manually or is there a better way im missing...
Amazon definitely makes it harder than it should be to pull a simple list. Honestly, I have been using their site for years and they still havent added a native export tool for the cart itself. If you are worried about security, you are right to be cautious since some tools ask for way too many permissions. I would suggest trying this chrome extension as it has worked for me in the past when I needed to organize large orders for my office. Here is how I usually handle it:
Just saw this and wanted to chime in because I ran into the exact same wall when I was ordering supplies for my studio last year. I had about 60 items sitting there and my business partner wanted to see the breakdown before we committed to the spend. I tried doing the manual copy-paste into Google Sheets at first but it was a total disaster. The formatting gets all wonky, images dont carry over right, and the price columns never align. The reality is that Amazon keeps it this way on purpose. They want you staying inside their ecosystem rather than taking your data to a spreadsheet where you might start comparing prices at other vendors. Its a classic tactic. I ended up finding Amazon Cart Export which is pretty much the only way I manage my lists now. It basically pulls the raw data from your active session and converts it into a CSV that Excel actually likes. It isnt a perfect system because sometimes the extension needs a refresh if the page times out, but honestly, it beats the alternative of typing out 45 different product names and ASIN numbers by hand. Since youre trying to budget for a new boutique, having that clean data to play with is gonna save you a ton of stress. Just make sure youre on the actual cart page before you run it or it might miss some items.
