Share Amazon Cart With Family

Many families use Amazon to shop for holidays, school, birthdays, and home supplies. But what if you want to share your cart with a family member before buying?

Sharing an Amazon cart is a smart and helpful way to plan shopping together. Whether you want advice, approval, or help choosing, sharing your cart lets your family see everything you’re thinking about buying. Unfortunately, Amazon doesn’t offer a built-in “share cart” feature. That’s where a handy tool like Share Amazon Cart ↗ comes in.

Why Share an Amazon Cart with Family?

There are many good reasons to share your cart with family. Let’s look at some examples:

  • Team Shopping - Maybe you and your spouse are planning a birthday party. One person picks the decorations. The other picks snacks and party supplies. You can build the cart together and check everything before buying.
  • Gifts and Holidays - It’s easy to accidentally buy the same gift twice. If everyone shares their cart, family members can avoid buying the same thing. Plus, they can split the cost or choose gifts as a group.
  • Back to School - Parents and kids often shop for school items together. Sharing the cart lets everyone review what's needed, add more things, or make changes.
  • Shopping for Others - Sometimes, a family member shops for someone else, like a grandparent or neighbor. Sharing the cart lets them confirm the items before checkout.
  • Budget Planning - Before you hit “buy,” it helps to have someone check the total cost. Sharing the cart makes it easy for everyone to see prices and make smart choices.

Real Life Scenario

Suppose you had a cart full of these items:

  1. Xbox Series X – 1TB Digital Edition
  2. Amazon Basics Ergonomic and Foldable Laptop Stand for Desk
  3. Alexa Dot (newest model), Vibrant sounding smart speaker, Great for bedrooms, dining rooms and offices, Charcoal
  4. Funko Bitty Pop Toy Story - Woody, Rex, Slinky Dog and A Surprise Mystery Mini Figure
  5. Ring Charging Station with 2-pack Quick Release Battery Packs

Instead of sharing each link seperately to family members, it is better to send one cart link. It’s easier than sending a bunch of screenshots or typing everything out.

➡️ Use an extension ↗ to make the link in one click.
