How can I share my Amazon cart using a direct URL link?

Question

Im freaking out a bit because Im supposed to be ordering all the gear for our Colorado hiking trip next Friday and I've got about $450 worth of stoves and tents sitting in my Amazon cart right now. I need to send a direct link to the rest of the group so they can see the total and approve it before I pull the trigger.

I looked it up and saw some stuff about a Share-a-cart extension but that seems super risky like why would I give them my password?? Then I saw people saying to use the wish list feature but that takes way too long. Is there really no way to just copy paste a link to my actual cart contents?

Amazon uses session-based cookies and local storage to track carts, so there isnt a public URL for security reasons. I ran into this mess when I was buying parts for my current setup.

Screenshotting is usually the fastest hack

Use a gift registry if you want a cleaner link

Or just screenshare on Discord The backend simply isnt built to expose that data publicly without an extension... kinda sucks honestly.

There really isnt a direct link for carts. Make sure to be careful with extensions tho. Lists are better for tracking prices and keeping our hiking budget under control safely...
