So I've been stressing out for like three days straight because I'm doing this big reveal for my apartment balcony makeover next Friday - it's a super tight timeline and I really want to show my followers exactly what I'm buying. I've got like 20 items in my cart right now including these fairy lights and this cute outdoor rug that was only 40 bucks but I can't figure out the best way to actually share the whole cart as a single link on my Instagram story.

I've been looking at a few ways to do this and I'm honestly so torn. First I thought about the Amazon Influencer program storefront thingy. My logic was that it looks the most professional and people trust it but I only have like 800 followers and I've heard they can be really picky about who they let in and I don't want to wait days for approval just to get rejected right before my post goes live. Plus it seems like a lot of setup for just one cart? I dont want to deal with a whole tax interview thing right now.

Then I saw this browser extension called Share-A-Cart. It seems like it creates a code or a link that people can just click to add everything to their own cart. I'm leaning toward this because it seems way faster but I'm super anxious about whether it actually works on the Instagram mobile app browser. Like what if someone clicks it and it just takes them to a login screen or errors out? That would be a total nightmare and I'd look so disorganized to everyone following the project.

My third thought was just to be basic and use Linktree. I'd just list everything one by one but ugh that sounds like such a chore for me and for my followers. Nobody is gonna click through 20 separate links right? I want it to be a one-click thing if possible. My budget is literally zero for any extra tools so it has to be a free method. Does anyone know if that Share-A-Cart thing is actually reliable for IG or is there a better way to do this that I'm totally missing? I feel like I'm overcomplicating it but I just want it to be perfect...
