Are there any free extensions to export an Amazon cart to URL?

Question

Does anyone know a free extension that actually works for exporting an entire Amazon cart into a shareable URL? Ive been doing the whole manual screenshot thing or copy-pasting links into a spreadsheet for years but its getting so old and I just ran into this huge wall today trying to organize a massive hardware build for our local gaming marathon this weekend. We are trying to coordinate all the cables, controllers, and snack bulk-buys into one link so the sponsors can just click and see the total damage but everything Im finding on the Chrome web store is either broken or wants a monthly subscription which is insane because we literally spent every last cent of the budget on the new GPUs and the venue rental lol.

I tried one called Share-A-Cart but it felt a bit clunky or maybe Im just using the wrong version? I need something that just grabs the ASINs or the cart state and generates a link that anyone can open on their own account to see exactly what is in there. It should be simple right? I usually know my way around dev tools and basic scraping but I dont have time to write a custom script for this before Friday. If anyone has a go-to tool that isnt a total data-mining nightmare please let me know... it would save me like four hours of tedious work tonight.

To add to the point above: I actually disagree with sticking to just that one tool. You might want to consider looking at generic shopping extensions from a brand like Honey or similar devs instead. I would suggest being super careful about privacy tho.

check if they read your cookies

stay away from full account access

test it first Make sure to watch your data since you're handling marathon funds.

Over the years I've tried many extensions and Share-A-Cart is honestly the safest because it doesnt need your login info. Since you found it clunky, try the code method instead of the URL:

Grab the 6-digit ID

Send that to the sponsors

They paste it on their end It is way more reliable than direct URLs that break often. If you get stuck on the receive side, lmk and I can walk you through it.

^ This. Also, jumping in here because Ive spent years dealing with these types of shared carts for local events and reliability is everything. Basically the thread so far is:

Stick with the known tools like Share-A-Cart even if the UI feels a bit dated.

Try that 6-digit code method instead of the direct link to avoid the URL breaking halfway through.

Keep a close eye on your data permissions and cookies since you are handling actual marathon funds. Honestly this reminds me so much of my cousin trying to coordinate a huge backyard movie night last summer. He had like 50 items in his cart—projectors, cables, popcorn machines, the whole deal. Instead of using an extension, he tried to just leave his laptop open for everyone to add stuff. Well, his toddler got ahold of the mouse and somehow managed to order 10 cases of industrial strength bubble wrap and a single high-end espresso machine they definitely couldnt afford. It took him three days on the phone with customer service to get it sorted out... he was absolutely fuming lol. We never even got the projector cables on time for the movie.
