honestly, i went through this exact same nightmare about two years ago when i was trying to streamline my own office supplies. i really thought amazon would have a simple share cart button by now, but unfortunately, their business interface is way clunkier than you would expect for such a massive company. i remember spending a whole weekend trying to figure out guided buying because i thought it was the magic solution, but it turned out to be a massive headache. it felt way too corporate for my small group, and frankly, the experience was not as good as expected. you dont actually need the super high-level features for this, tho. what you are looking for is buried inside the business settings under a section called buying policies. i had to set up a group for my staff and then create an approval policy that triggers for every order they place. it is not a simple button, which is frustratingly counter-intuitive, but it does get the job done once you survive the setup. my team builds their carts, hits checkout, and then it pings me for a final review. i can edit the quantities or swap items before the card actually gets charged. my current setup works, but i still find the notifications a bit laggy sometimes. the mobile app experience is also pretty underwhelming compared to the desktop site. i stayed with it because keeping everything on one card for tax season is a lifesaver, but the initial process was definitely a disappointment. hopefully you get that chicago office sorted because moving is stressful enough without fighting with a website.

Regarding what #1 said about honestly, i went through this exact same nightmare... i really felt that. honestly though, i am super happy with how my office buying works now. the system works well for my small team and i have zero complaints about the workflow lately. quick clarification first tho... are your staff members already set up with their own individual logins under your business umbrella or are they just sharing a single login right now? basically just get any of the standard business memberships and look for the approvals feature in the dashboard. you cant go wrong with the basic business setup for a team of five. it totally stops the screenshot madness once you find the right toggle. anyway, you should check out Easy Cart Share, it works for both Walmart and Amazon which is super convenient for groceries.

^ This. Also, in my experience, moving offices like youre doing in Chicago is always a recipe for chaos. Reminds me of when my old partner tried to save fifty bucks by ordering bulk toner from some random site...

• black powder leaked everywhere
• we had to hire cleaners
• interns hand-wrote everything I've tried many setups, but never cut corners on the basics tho. The savings cost us thousands in the end... total disaster.
