Is there an extension to share an Amazon Canada cart easily?

Question

Does anyone know if there is a browser extension that actually works for sharing an Amazon Canada cart easily without making me copy paste every single item?

I am honestly so frustrated right now. My roommates and I are trying to order supplies and decor for a housewarming party at our new apartment in Calgary next weekend, and we have about 30 items sitting in a cart. I tried using Share-A-Cart because people recommended it online, but it completely breaks on amazon.ca. Half the stuff failed to transfer over, and for the other half it tried redirecting to the US site which messed up all the prices and showed items as out of stock.

We are trying to stay under a strict $500 budget and we need to get this order placed tonight so Prime shipping gets it here by Thursday. Sending links back and forth in our group chat is driving me crazy and wasting so much time. Is there any tool out there that actually supports the Canadian store properly, or am I just stuck doing this manually...

Over the years of ordering for group events in Canada, I've tried many cart sharing tools. Most break on amazon.ca because of regional redirects. The easiest solution without using buggy extensions is creating a shared Amazon Wish List set to collaborative. It keeps all items on the Canadian store with real time pricing and lets roommates add items directly. That approach has saved me hours of manual work.

Not sure if there is a 100% reliable cart extension for amazon.ca specifically, but I think most of them struggle because of how Amazon handles regional SKUs and CAD currency. IIRC a buddy of mine tried using one of those cart transfer tools for a group camping trip we organized last summer, and we ended up getting burned because it swapped several items with US sellers without us realizing. We thought we were well under budget until checkout hit us with crazy import fees and extra shipping charges. If you are trying to stay strictly under that $500 limit, I would suggest being super careful with automated tools right now. You might want to consider just dropping the items into a shared spreadsheet with prices listed. Make sure to check the sold by seller on each item too, because third party sellers on the Canadian site love sneaking in extra shipping costs right before checkout. I know it feels tedious when you are in a rush to get Prime shipping for Thursday, but taking ten minutes to manually double check prices in a shared doc saved my roommates and me almost a hundred bucks when we moved into our apartment. We actually caught a couple items that had cheaper identical listings on .ca. It takes a tiny bit of extra effort tonight, but it keeps your budget safe.

^ This. Also, unfortunately third-party cart extensions for amazon.ca have serious security risks and rarely work as expected. A few technical cautions to keep in mind:

Many cart tools request full session cookie access, which had issues with account security in the past.

Regional domain redirects on Amazon often corrupt localized pricing and stock availability. Could you clarify if everyone is using Chrome or Firefox? Knowing your setup helps suggest safer alternatives.
