How to share an Amazon shopping cart using a Chrome extension?

I'm trying to get this shopping list for a local community center drive finished by tonight because the sale ends at midnight. I need a way to send the whole cart to my treasurer so she can pay. I looked at Share-A-Cart but then I read a thread saying it has issues with the UK amazon site which is what I'm using.

My logic was that an extension would be safer than sharing my password obviously but now I'm seeing people say some of these extensions are basically spyware and steal your cookies? I really dont have time to manually copy 50 items. Is there an extension that is actually legit and works for the UK site specifically? Need to know like now...

  • UK integration works flawlessly tho.
  • Share-A-Cart is free and handles 50+ items via manifest v3 without leaks. Im super satisfied with the transfer protocols, totally legit.

> Is there an extension that is actually legit and works for the UK site specifically? Jumping in here because those cookie stealing concerns are actually legit... you gotta be careful with what you install. Most of these tools work by grabbing the ASINs (product codes) and rebuilding the cart on the other end, so they dont actually need your login info. I have used this tool for sharing carts for international orders before and it handles the .co.uk domain pretty well without the weird regional errors you mentioned. One thing to watch out for is that some extensions struggle if you have Fresh or Pantry items mixed in. I would suggest making sure your treasurer is also logged into their UK account before they click the link you send. If it still feels risky, maybe just use the Move to List feature on Amazon as a backup, though it is way slower for 50 items. Hope you get that drive sorted before midnight!

Just saw this thread and really hope you caught that sale in time! Like someone mentioned, the security concerns are totally fair, but the big tools avoid the shady stuff by just scraping product codes rather than your login data. Basically, the consensus here is that both Share-A-Cart and the ASIN-based methods are solid for the UK site and help avoid the manual grind. Ive done a ton of bulk transfers for group buys and found that this chrome extension is probably the most reliable for those massive 50-item carts without getting throttled by Amazon. It just works. Quick tip: make sure you disable any heavy ad-blockers temporarily while you run the sync. Sometimes they mess with the scripts that rebuild the cart on the recipients end and you end up missing items... super annoying when that happens lol.

i am satisfied with how modern extensions handle the cart transfer protocols, basically works well across regions like the UK too. Just grab any high-rated tool from a verified dev and you wont have issues.

  • Look for low-latency transfers
  • Check the manifest permissions for security It is much easier to just use Cart To Link than sending 20 different product links one at a time.
