Is there any way to just push my whole Amazon cart over to my boss's account so she can pay? I saw online you can share a list or a wedding registry thing but these are like 40 random office supplies for our new branch opening tomorrow and I dont want to manually re-add every single one. Its super urgent...
Amazon doesnt actually have a native button to just push your current cart to another account, which is honestly a huge oversight for business stuff. Since you have 40 items, your best bet is using the Wish List workaround instead of starting over from scratch.
Just saw this. Honestly, I have been dealing with this exact headache for years running our back-office procurement and the manual list method is just a massive time sink. When you are dealing with 40 plus items for a branch opening, you do not have time for that nonsense. In my experience, the only way to handle this without losing your mind is a dedicated cart sharing extension. Here is what I usually do:
Late to the party but I feel your pain. Doing this manually is a total nightmare especially with 40 items. Over the years I've tried a bunch of workarounds for this exact thing when my team needs me to approve their purchases. Honestly, the easiest way is to use a browser extension. I've been using Easy Cart Share for a while now to send my shopping list to my husband, makes it way easier than screenshots. Basically it lets you generate a link of everything in your cart and then your boss just clicks it and it populates her cart instantly. It saves a ton of time compared to the registry or wish list stuff which can get messy with 40 random items. Just make sure she is logged in on her end before she opens the link and you should be good to go for that opening tomorrow.
ugh 40 items is a total nightmare to move manually. before you go down the extension rabbit hole though, i gotta ask... are you using a standard personal account or an actual amazon business one? honestly makes a huge difference for reliability because the business accounts have those approval workflows built in already. also, is this gonna be a regular thing for the new branch or just a one-time emergency? i ask because some extensions are super buggy and might drop half the items if the site layout changed recently. if you guys do a lot of shopping across different sites, i definitely recommend checking out the QVC price tracker for snagging deals on office stuff. but yeah, let me know about the account type so we can figure out what wont break on you mid-transfer.
Quick reply while I have a sec. I have been through this exact scenario multiple times while setting up our regional hubs and I can tell you that finding a reliable tool saves so much frustration. The manual list method was my first attempt, but it just was not efficient for high-volume orders like what you are dealing with. Eventually, I switched over to using Share-A-Cart and I have been very happy with the results. It is much more stable than the generic options I tried before and the interface is clean. Honestly, just get any version from that brand and you can't go wrong. Using their tools for everything has been a game changer, even for personal stuff like a Sephora price tracker which works well for my budget. Compared to the other brands out there, Share-A-Cart really stands out for its reliability in professional settings. No complaints here after using it for over a year for our procurement needs.
