> I just want one big basket where we can all throw things in and see what the total is before I pull the trigger. Oh man, I totally feel your pain with the coordination headache! Dealing with volunteers is a wild ride, but you can definitely do this without sharing logins. You need to set up a Group in your Amazon Business settings and invite the others as Requisitioners. This is the secret sauce! Once you have the group, you can enable Shared Carts so everyone dumps their finds into one place. I love this setup because it makes tracking that $1200 budget so much easier! You see the subtotal climbing in real-time, which is fantastic for making sure you dont accidentally go overboard. Pro tip: keep an eye out for Business Only deals and quantity discounts while you're at it. Sometimes you can shave 10 percent off the total just by buying certain brands in bulk, and when you're working with a tight fundraiser budget, every single cent counts! Its way better than the 2010 era of sending endless links back and forth. Just make sure your settings are toggled to Shared Carts at the group level or theyll just end up making separate orders which is exactly what you're trying to avoid. Its seriously amazing how much time this saves once the initial setup is done. Good luck with the Chicago fundraiser, hope you guys crush it!

Seconded!

I dealt with this exact headache for a big fundraiser last year! Amazons shared cart is honestly a mess, so we just used a collaborative List instead. It was a game changer for sticking to our $1200 budget! I even used the extension I use for Walmart to cross-check prices and saved like $200. Seriously, lists are way less stressful than that cart nonsense!

Been using this for years, no complaints

Just saw this thread and wanted to jump in... Honestly, I've tried the Amazon group route and it just feels so corporate and clunky for a small fundraiser. I'm gonna have to disagree slightly with sticking to Amazon for this kind of thing because their interface is just... a lot. If you aren't 100% tied to Amazon, I've been super satisfied switching over to Walmart for our supply runs lately. Basically, it's way easier to manage a shared vision there. My quick tip is to check out the Walmart shopping list creator extension. It's way more intuitive for group planning than Amazon's requisition system which feels like it was built for a massive corporation, not a local youth group. I've used it for a few events now and it honestly works well without all the approval drama.
