I ran into this wall during a massive tech install last year! Like someone mentioned, Amazon binds carts to session cookies, which is why it is a pain. Using Share-A-Cart is amazing because it serializes SKU data into a portable ID.

• Bypasses login requirements
• Maintains specific quantities
• Fast data transfer Love how it handles the back-end logic without sharing passwords. Truly fantastic for team projects!

Native sharing isnt a thing yet. Dont share passwords tho.

• Share-A-Cart works well
• shared wishlists are decent Avoid untrusted extensions that scrape data... can be risky.

In my experience managing office build-outs, Amazons refusal to build a native sharing feature is basically a rite of passage for project leads. Over the years, I have tried everything from messy shared spreadsheets to risky account sharing, and it always leads to budget overruns or duplicate orders. I eventually settled on using this chrome extension for my current setup. It just makes the whole process of getting everyones eyes on the gear way smoother without compromising security. Last time I did a refresh like yours, I realized the biggest cost-saver isnt just the items, its the time saved on coordination. Just make sure you set a hard deadline for the team to add their items. My rule is usually 24 hours before checkout so I can do a final audit. It keeps things clean and ensures I dont accidentally buy five extra monitor arms.
