How to Share Amazon Cart

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer. You can buy almost anything—clothes, electronics, books, groceries, and more. But what if you want to show someone else what you’re planning to buy? Maybe you're shopping with a friend, planning a gift with your partner, or asking family members to view your cart. That’s where Amazon cart sharing comes in.

Even though Amazon doesn't have a built-in way to share your shopping cart, there are simple ways to do it. In this guide, you’ll learn how to share your Amazon cart, including how to use a Chrome Extension ↗ to make it fast and easy.

Why Share Your Amazon Cart?

Sharing your Amazon cart makes shopping with others much easier. It’s useful when you’re buying gifts for friends or planning a big family order. Imagine coordinating a birthday present, a holiday shopping list, or even stocking up on household items with multiple people. Instead of sending many separate links, you can share one cart. This way, everyone sees the same items, can suggest changes, or copy the cart if they want to buy the same things.

It saves time and reduces mistakes, like forgetting something important or accidentally duplicating items. Sharing your cart also helps with organizing group orders at work or planning a special event, making the process smoother and more efficient.

Here are some common reasons people like to share their Amazon carts:

  • Stay Organized - Everyone sees the same shopping list. Whether you’re planning a party or group gift, it helps keep things in one place. No one gets left out or confused about what’s already picked.
  • Perfect for Groups - Families, friends, coworkers, classmates—everyone benefits from shared carts. It works great for planning holidays, birthdays, office events, or even just sharing fun finds.
  • Split Costs Easily - Everyone sees the prices and totals. That makes it easy to divide up the bill or take turns covering items. You can even decide who buys what based on the cart.
  • Great for Any Occasion - Use it for school shopping, weddings, potlucks, holidays, or even vacations. If multiple people are involved, sharing your cart just makes sense.
  • Safe and Private - The people you share with won’t see your Amazon login, payment info, or saved addresses. Only the cart items are shared—nothing else.

Can You Share Your Cart on Amazon?

Yes! You can either:

The Best Way: Use "Share Amazon Cart" Extension

The best way to share your cart is to use the Share Amazon Cart Chrome Extension ↗. This tool lets you turn your cart into a simple link that you can send to anyone.

What Is the Share Amazon Cart Extension?

This is a free tool made for Chrome / Edge users. It creates a link that includes all the items in your cart. When someone clicks the link, they’ll see the same items and can add them to their own cart. It works across different Amazon regions and doesn’t need your Amazon login or password. It is trusted by thousands of shoppers worldwide!

The extension requires minimal permissions and installs quickly.

How to Use the Extension

  1. Install the extension. Go to the Share Amazon Cart extension page ↗ and install it on Chrome or Edge.
  2. Shop like usual. Add items to your Amazon cart like you normally would.
  3. Click "Share Cart". Open any Amazon page and click the new “Share Cart” button.
  4. Copy & Share. Copy the shareable link and send it to someone.

The recipient opens the link and adds the same items to their cart.

Why It’s Better Than Other Methods

  • You don't need to manage a wishlist or copy every product link.
  • Works with Amazon.com, international sites, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods.
  • Shares the exact items and quantities.
  • Shares the exact colors and sizes.
  • The recipient gets all items with one click.

Another Option: Create and Share Wishlist

Here are the steps to create and share an Amazon Wishlist:

  1. Create a wishlist
    1. Hover over "Accounts & Lists" in the top right corner.
    2. Click "Your Lists".
    3. Select "Create a List".
  2. Add Items
    1. Open the product page.
    2. Click "Add to List" near the "Add to Cart" button.
    3. Pick your Wishlist from the drop-down menu.
  3. Share Your Wishlist
    1. Go back to "Your Lists".
    2. Select the list you want to share.
    3. Click the "Send list to others" or "Invite" button.

Wishlist Drawbacks

If you’re hoping someone will just buy everything in one go—like for a group gift or a bulk order—it’s not the smoothest option. The person has to go through the list and manually add each item to their own cart, which can be a bit of a hassle. Plus, details like size, color, or quantity might not get applied to the recipient cart.

Additionally, you must be signed into Amazon to create and share a wishlist. Given all these limitations, we highly recommend using the option mentioned above.

Another Option: Copy and Paste Product Links

Here is an example cart:

Manual Process

  1. Open each item in the browser.
  2. Copy the URL from your browser.
  3. Paste each link into a message.

This works if you only have a few products. It’s not efficient for large or complex carts. You risk sending the wrong link or missing an item, which can cause confusion for the people you’re sharing with.
