Honestly this is driving me crazy why is this so hard. I have about 22 items in my Amazon cart right now for our nursery setup (baby is due in like three weeks so I'm on a major time crunch here) and I just want my husband to look over them and pay using his business card because of the tax write-off.
So I was thinking there has to be a simple share button right? My logic was that Amazon wants our money so they would make sharing a cart super easy. But no. I googled it and saw people recommending this chrome extension called Share-a-cart but I looked at the permissions and it wants to read all my data on amazon and that feels super sketchy to me. Then I saw another post saying to just make a public wishlist and move everything there. But that means I have to click into every single one of the 22 items, add them to a list, delete them from my cart, and then have him add them back to his cart. That is going to take forever and I just dont have the patience for it right now.
Is there actually a built-in way to do this that I am missing or do we seriously still have to share passwords or manually copy paste 20+ links?

Regarding what #1 said about "Yeah, Amazon makes this way harder than it..."
- I completely agree. Unfortunately, their closed API means third-party tools are not as good as expected and carry security risks. Are you looking to keep your accounts completely separate for tax tracking, or would sharing a payment method via Amazon Household work? Let me know, I can explain the setup.

Ugh, I ran into this exact headache last year when we were buying home office gear for tax write-offs. Unfortunately, Amazon's sharing tools are just not as good as expected and we had major issues with duplicate orders because we kept losing track of who added what. It is so frustrating. To figure out the easiest workaround for you guys, I have a couple questions:
- Are you trying to keep your purchase histories completely separate for his business accounting, or is it just about using his credit card?
- Does he have a dedicated Amazon Business account already, or are you both just using standard personal accounts? If we know that, it might make finding a workaround easier because the basic cart sharing options are pretty terrible.

Yeah, Amazon makes this way harder than it needs to be. Over the years I've tried basically every workaround for this. Here is how they stack up:
- The Wish List Route: Honestly, it is a giant pain. Safe because it is built-in, but you have to move every item manually. With 22 items, you will lose your mind.
- Amazon Household: You can link accounts to share payment methods, but it takes time to set up and doesnt really solve the instant cart sharing issue.
- Cart to Link: This is what I use now. It lets you turn your whole Amazon cart into a shareable link without installing sketchy extensions. Super handy for sending lists to my spouse. Save yourself the headache and just use the link option, way faster.
