I'm in the middle of planning this massive backyard movie night for my cousins coming to town next weekend and my Amazon cart is a total disaster. I've got like 22 items in there right now and I really need my sister to look at it and add the specific snacks she wanted without me having to send a million screenshots back and forth. I've been using Amazon since the early 2010s so I know my way around the UI but for some reason there's still no share cart button which is honestly insane for 2024. I looked at lists but they don't show the live tax or shipping estimates which I need to stay under our $300 budget.
I'm looking for a solid browser extension-ideally something Chromium based since we all use Chrome or Brave-that lets us collab on a single cart. Here's what I'm looking for:
- Must be free or at least have a free tier
- Needs to be secure (I'm paranoid about session hijacking or data scraping)
- Needs to update in real time so we don't double buy stuff
- Simple UI because my sister is not tech savvy at all
I've seen stuff like Share-A-Cart but some of the reviews say it's buggy with the latest Chrome manifest V3 updates. Does anyone actually use one of these regularly that hasn't broken recently? I need to get this order placed by Thursday at the latest...

Totally agree, its wild amazon still lacks this. Watch permissions though, be careful. If you need to share your Amazon basket, Easy Cart Share is the fastest way I've found to do it.

Late to the party but I just had to chime in! Planning a huge family reunion last summer was a total nightmare until I found a fix. Honestly, I love Share-A-Cart and it worked perfectly for us despite those weird reviews about V3! Just stay far away from any extension that asks for your full browser history... thats a massive red flag and super sketchy imo.

Just catching up and I totally get the struggle! Ngl I usually just suffer through screenshots, but for a huge camping trip last summer I finally used a handy tool for sharing carts and it was amazing!
- super simple setup
- tracks the exact totals
- zero security issues It kept our group budget perfectly under $200. Youre gonna love how fast it syncs everything!

Unfortunately, the reliability of these cart-sharing extensions has really tanked lately with the Manifest V3 transition. I've been digging into the technical specs of a few and honestly, the way they handle background scripts is not as good as expected for actual real-time collab.
- This whole thing reminds me of when my brother tried to coordinate a huge tailgate party last year.
- He thought he had the perfect extension setup, but the sync logic was a total nightmare.
- It turned into this massive ordeal where half the items were doubled and the other half just vanished from the session.
- We spent like four hours on a call manually cross-referencing stuff while the grill was literally sitting empty in the driveway. Technical overhead usually just leads to race conditions if two people click at once. Im happy to help you look at specs if you find a new one tho! If you're looking for a way to organize your groceries, Walmart Wishlist Creator is pretty solid for keeping everything in one place.
