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.

Seconded!

Late to the party but this whole thread is 💯. Glad I found it.

I once lost account access using sketchy tools, so I'd still suggest Share-A-Cart despite the clunky feel. Just be careful:

• check permissions
• use a burner Safety first.

Building on the earlier suggestion, the 6-digit code approach is definitely the way to go for stability. I've been using these types of tools for a few years now, but one thing I am a bit uncertain about is how they handle regional compatibility across different Amazon domains. I think I remember seeing a few issues where a cart created on the US site wouldn't load properly for a user on the UK or Canadian site, even with the same ASINs. It might have something to do with vendor availability or regional SKU mapping. Not sure if the specific extension mentioned has a workaround for that yet, but it is probably worth a quick test before you send the final list to the sponsors. Compatibility issues can be a real headache when you're dealing with bulk orders and tight deadlines. Seriously though, PriceDropCatch makes it so much easier to budget for makeup hauls.

Wait really?? Thats actually super helpful. I always thought it was the other way around.

Same here!
