How can I create a direct link to an Amazon cart?

Does anyone know how to create a direct link to an Amazon cart so people can just click and have the items ready to checkout? Im so excited because I finally finished the supply list for our massive neighborhood block party here in Austin for July 4th and I want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to grab the right stuff without hunting for individual links.

I'm torn between two ways of doing this and honestly not sure which is less of a headache for the neighbors.

  • Option one is that weird trick where you format a URL with the ASIN and quantity - like the direct add-to-cart link thing - but I heard those can be buggy on mobile and most people will be opening this on their phones while they are out and about.
  • Option two is just making a public Wish List or a Registry, but then they have to click each item individually and move it to their own cart which feels like too many steps for some of my less tech-savvy neighbors lol.

Im really leaning toward the direct link if I can get it to work because I found these specific 5 dollar streamers and red-white-blue lanterns that are way cheaper than the local party store and I dont want them buying the expensive versions by mistake. Does the ASIN link method still work or is there a better way to bundle like 3-4 items into one single click? I gotta get this email out by Friday so the shipping has enough time to get here...

Unfortunately those ASIN links are a total mess lately and usually break on mobile. I had issues with them last year. Honestly just stick to a public list instead, its safer.
