Is there a way to build multi-item Amazon cart links easily?

Question

I am losing my mind trying to organize a dorm bundle for my cousin who moves in next Tuesday. I have about 12 items ready but sending individual links is a mess. I am torn between just making a public Amazon Wishlist or using one of those AddToCart link generator tools I saw online. The wishlist feels annoying because she has to manually add every item and she is totally tech-challenged. I found a site called Share-a-Cart but I am worried about it being safe or actually working since I have a strict budget for this and dont want to waste time. Is there a legit way to just bundle a whole cart into one link? Amazon makes this way harder than it needs to be...

Honestly, I went through this exact same headache last semester trying to prep a tool kit for my brother. It was a massive letdown because Amazon doesnt actually have a native bundle-to-cart feature for standard users. I tried a few of those third-party extensions, including Share-a-Cart, but unfortunately I had issues with my browser slowing down and some items just failing to sync properly. It felt a bit risky giving an extension access to my shopping data just to save ten minutes, and the reliability was not as good as expected. Technically, there is a manual URL hack, but it is super tedious to build. You basically have to string together ASIN numbers and quantities into one long string. If you want to avoid third-party tools that might be sketchy, here is the methodical way to do it:

Find the 10-digit ASIN for each item in the product details section.

Use the format: amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?ASIN.1=[ASIN]&Quantity.1=1&ASIN.2=[ASIN]&Quantity.2=1

Continue that pattern for all 12 items. I tried doing this for a large order and it worked, tho the link gets insanely long and sometimes mobile browsers just fail to load the whole thing. If that feels too technical, you might want to try creating a Gift Registry instead of a standard Wishlist. Registries often have a more prominent Add all to cart button that is easier for tech-challenged people to navigate. Amazon really makes this harder than it needs to be for no reason...

Re: "Any updates on this?" - jumping in here because I've spent a lot of time auditing these browser scripts for my own projects. CaribouCruise is right to be cautious about the performance hits. In my experience, these extensions often run heavy background processes that can leak your session data if you aren't careful. Since you are on a strict budget, keep these risks in mind:

Permission bloat: many tools ask to read data on all sites, not just Amazon.

Affiliate hijacking: some tools swap out links to earn commission, which can occasionally mess with specific bundle discounts.

Stability: Amazon updates their site code constantly, so these third-party carts break without warning, potentially losing your 12-item list right when you need it. If you want to keep it simple and safe without paying for some premium service, the native wishlist is still the most stable way to go even if it's a bit clunky. If you're tired of people asking what you want, just set up a Share Product page and send the link once.
