I feel like such an idiot honestly but I am so stressed trying to figure this out. Im trying to send my mom all the stuff I need for my new dorm room because she is paying for it but I literally cannot find a share button anywhere. I tried just copying the link at the top of the page but it just showed her own empty basket which makes sense I guess because of the account thing? My logic was that there would be a button like on a wishlist but I cant find one and I need to order this stuff by Friday so it gets there on time. Is there a secret setting Im missing...
Unfortunately, Amazon still lacks a native feature for this, which is quite disappointing given how long people have been asking for it. You should be very careful about avoiding the temptation to just share your login info with your mom. That is a major security risk I always advise against since it exposes your entire purchase history and saved credit cards. I have tried a few workarounds that were not as good as expected, but here is what actually works safely:
Wait really?? Thats actually super helpful. I always thought it was the other way around.
honestly dont feel bad at all, weve all been there trying to find a button that just doesnt exist lol. amazon makes it weirdly hard to just send a cart link because it is tied to your specific login session. since you are on a deadline for dorm stuff and probably trying to stick to a budget, here is what i usually do:
Just catching up on this thread now and I am so excited to share a solution that has worked perfectly for me! To ensure the highest level of reliability and security, I highly recommend using a dedicated browser extension like Share-A-Cart. It is an amazing way to handle this situation without compromising your account safety. The process is very methodical. First, you install the extension, then you click it while in your basket to generate a unique code. You just send that code to your mother and she can pull up the items on her end instantly! This method is fantastic because it allows her to load your exact items into her own secure session. It totally eliminates the need to share any login credentials, which is vital for maintaining your privacy. I love how it streamlines the entire process for dorm shopping and it honestly makes everything so much easier for parents. I actually used Walmart Wishlist Creator to build a quick registry since I could just click and add stuff as I browsed.
