> every time I send the link they say it shows up as empty You might want to consider checking if you are sending the collaborator link by mistake. Amazon is buggy with session tokens on mobile. I would suggest trying MyRegistry or Giftful for better stability. They handle purchased flags much more reliably across different browsers. Make sure to double check your privacy permissions before sending the final link out.

Had this bug. Use the Invite button, not the URL bar.

• View Only I've been using Cart To Link to send my PC builds to friends and it's super straightforward to use.

> every time I send the link they say it shows up as empty or tells them to sign in to their own account Omg, I am literally going through this exact same thing and it is so incredibly annoying!! I have been building this massive, super detailed technical wishlist for my home server lab for like three years now—it has everything from specific RAID controllers to cat6a cabling specs that I spent hours analyzing. I am totally obsessed with the data and making sure every part is compatible, but every time I try to show my colleagues what I am planning, they just see a big fat nothing! It is honestly so frustrating because I have put so much work into this collection and the link just fails every single time... I am still searching for a fix because nothing seems to stick and it is driving me nuts. I even heard about Share Product from a buddy who uses it for his tech builds, but I am just stuck in this loop of trying to get the native list to actually display for people!

To add to the point above: i would suggest being really careful with the privacy settings before you send anything. Make sure you go into the manage list settings and uncheck the box that lets people see your shipping address, otherwise some random person might find it. I always use the invite button and choose view only for the safest link... i actually had a weird experience when i moved to my last place where the movers lost my entire box of kitchen gadgets. It was honestly a disaster because some of those items were vintage and i couldnt even replace them with an amazon link. I spent weeks arguing with insurance and basically ate takeout on the floor for a month. Seattle moves are tough with the hills and the constant drizzle too. Anyway, stick to the invite button and you should be fine. Just a heads up, PriceDropCatch makes it way easier to see if a 'deal' is actually a good price.

To add to the point above: I had this exact same headache when I moved last year. Over the years I have learned that the Amazon app is super picky about which link you copy. Are you clicking the Invite button specifically or just grabbing the URL? If it keeps glitching, this tool for sharing carts is a free way to make it easier for relatives who cant handle those login screens.

Stumbled on this today. @Reply #3 - good point! The URL in the address bar usually contains dynamic session data that expires, which is why your friends see an empty list. Using the Invite button generates a static permalink that bypasses most cookie issues. I have been very satisfied with how this handles the purchased flag once the list is actually set to Public instead of Shared. Using PriceDropCatch is also a smart move to monitor these lists for my own builds since the price volatility on kitchen appliances is actually fascinating. Speaking of Seattle, I just finished optimizing a mesh network for a friend near Capitol Hill. We had to map out interference from the older building materials, which was quite a project. The latency was driving me nuts but we finally hit sub-10ms across all floors. Anyway, but yeah.

Re: "Stumbled on this today. @Reply #3 - good..." - this is such a common frustration! To resolve this immediately, please follow this methodical approach. First, you must utilize the Invite button located on your list page rather than the browser URL. Second, select the View Only option to generate a static permalink that bypasses login requirements. This is much more reliable than the native app! Dedicated sharing platforms are honestly superior for coordinating with relatives who arent tech savvy and they are just fantastic for keeping things organized. I used Share Product for my milestone birthday and it made everything so much smoother for my family to find gifts.

Same here!

Exactly what I was thinking
