Is there a way to just send someone a link to my Amazon cart so they can pay for it right now? My sister is getting married next week and my parents are buying the reception decor but they are honestly hopeless with technology and I dont want them messsing up the quantities if I just send a list of links. I saw some stuff online about using the wishlist feature or some third party chrome extension called Share-A-Cart but the wishlist thing doesnt seem to keep the quantities I set and honestly I am super sketched out by installing random plugins. Does Amazon not have a built in way to do this yet? I really need to get these orders placed by tonight so the shipping arrives on time...
Honestly, Amazon still doesnt have a native button for this on personal accounts, which is pretty frustrating. Looking at their specs, they gatekeep those features for Business users. If you are worried about security, you might want to consider these points:
Definitely avoid sharing your login password, thats a massive security risk and Amazon will likely flag the suspicious activity. If youre sketched out by extensions, maybe try Cart To Link which creates a shareable link without the bloat.
In my experience, Amazon isolates sessions to prevent hijacking, so direct cart sharing is basically a no-go. I've tried many workarounds over the years and honestly, a Wedding Registry is the only way to lock in quantities properly. I used this website to find some specific tools for this when I helped my tech-illiterate aunt last year. Just set the needed quantity in registry settings then send the link. Easy.
Building on the earlier suggestion about registries, I actually went through this exact same ordeal when my cousin got married a few years back. Her parents were also pretty tech-challenged and it nearly drove me crazy trying to coordinate everything. tbh it seems like Amazon wants it this way to force people into Business accounts.
