Ive been an Amazon Prime member for like forever and I usually just use the Move to Wishlist feature when I want to save stuff but right now Im trying to help my nephew up in Seattle pick out parts for his first budget gaming PC. I have about 12 items in my cart ranging from the GPU to the thermal paste and I really dont want to copy-paste a dozen individual product links into our chat.
I tried:
Is there actually a way to just send a direct URL to a live cart so he can just hit checkout on his end or am I stuck making a whole separate public list for this...
Theres no native way. You should be careful with extensions tho; I once tried one for a build and it leaked my session tokens.
> Is there actually a way to just send a direct URL to a live cart Honestly, it is so disappointing that Amazon still havent made this a feature after all these years. You would think it would be standard by now, but unfortunately, you are stuck. I went through the exact same headache last year when I was trying to coordinate a big tech upgrade for my own setup. I had about fifteen items lined up and thought surely there is a share link... nope. I ended up just having to dump everything into a fresh public list and send that over instead. It is really not as good as expected and feels super clunky compared to how modern sites should work. Honestly, just make that separate list for your nephew, it is basically the only way to keep your sanity. Good luck with his PC build tho, it is a fun project to help with even if the site makes it difficult.
@Reply #2 - good point! Safety is definitely the priority here. Honestly, if you just search on YouTube for share amazon cart tutorials, there are plenty of guides that show the safer ways to do this. Its a decent way to see the pros and cons. Personally, I find using Cart To Link to be much more reliable than those random extensions since it protects your privacy while keeping things organized.
