so basically i am trying to get this "dorm essentials" list ready for my followers before move-in weekend starts next week and im kind of panicking because i cant figure out if a direct cart link is even a thing. i spend hours finding the exact right items and i dont want to just send people to a list where they have to click 'add' 15 times. my logic was that if i could just send one link and boom everything is in their cart it would be so much easier for them especially since people are lazy lol. i am looking to bundle:
- the specific 10ft power strip
- those slim velvet hangers
- the clip on bedside lamp
- a specific brand of command hooks
i did some digging and found "Idea Lists" on the influencer storefront but from what i can see it just shows the items and doesnt actually put them in the cart for the user. then i saw some third party sites that claim they can "share carts" but that feels super sketchy to give my login to some random app plus my followers wont want to install an extension just to buy stuff.
does amazon have like a native way to do this? i saw someone mention "Amazon Fresh" has a way to share recipes that adds all ingredients to a cart so i thought maybe there was a version of that for regular items but i cant find the button anywhere. am i just blind or is this literally not allowed? i need to post this by monday morning or the whole guide is kinda useless...

Like someone mentioned, the security protocols make this basically impossible to do natively. From a technical perspective, Amazon uses specific session tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery, so you cant just generate a raw URL that populates a third-party cart. You might want to consider that the Amazon Fresh feature uses a proprietary API that simply isnt open for standard retail listings or influencers yet. I would suggest being extremely cautious with any third-party site asking for account access, as those often scrape session cookies which is a huge security risk. The only safe way is sticking to the Idea List even if it feels clunky. Make sure to check if the Add all to cart button appears for you, as it sometimes triggers only when items are all shipped and sold by Amazon directly. If one item is from a third-party seller, the button usually disappears from the top of the list. Btw, I found Cart To Link a few weeks ago and it's perfect for sharing bulk orders with the rest of the team.

> Amazon uses specific session tokens to prevent cross-site request forgery @Reply #2 - good point! Honestly tho, I disagree that it is impossible. I was so satisfied when I finally found a way to bundle my office supplies list last month without paying for premium apps. It works well and saved my coworkers a massive headache. You dont need to be a tech genius to make it easy. Btw, I found Cart To Link a few weeks ago and its perfect for sharing bulk orders with the rest of the team.

You are spot on about people being lazy, they definitely wont click 15 times lol. I have been down this rabbit hole before and Amazon basically blocks direct cart links for security. You might want to consider using easy amazon cart sharing to bypass the manual stuff.
- it bundles everything safely
- no extension needed for them Just make sure to double check the SKU variants before posting.
