You might have thought of sharing your amazon cart with your family and friends but, there seems to be no option to do that directly from Amazon.
Or maybe you heard someone that you could actually share your amazon cart and you are here to figure out how to share your Amazon cart.
If that is the case, you are at the right place.
One of the things that Amazon has made available is sharing of your Wishlist.
But then, there is no way you can share your cart with another party directly from Amazon. Probably you might want to get a recommendation or you want another person to pay for it.
Notwithstanding, there is a way around it and since you have visited here let’s get into it
It is not news anymore that there is no way you can share your amazon cart to a third party directly from amazon. But there is a common trick you can use to do that.
It involves installing the chrome extension (Share-A-Cart) which gives you the option to share your cart when you are on Amazon using a unique ID.

Anyway, here is how to share your amazon cart using Share-A-Cart
NB: this extension is available for Chrome and Firefox
That said, here are the guidelines
Let’s start
- Go on google and type “share-a-cart”
- If you are using Firefox type “share-a-cart Firefox”
- Next, select the link and install the “share a cart extension”. Alternatively, you can search for it among the available extensions in your browser
- Next, log in to your Amazon account and add items to your cart
- Open the “Share a cart” extension and select “Create Cart ID”
- Next, a code will be generated. The code needs to be shared with whoever wants to view your cart
- Next, share the Cart ID with who anyone you’d like to from the plugin
- Alternatively, you can decide to copy your Cart ID and send it to the email address of the person you wish to share it with.

NOTE: The person you are sending it to will have to download the “Share-A-Cart” plugin and input the code into the plugin from their end to be able to view the cart.
Once they do this, your Amazon cart will be loaded right into their Amazon cart.
This would make it easier for the person to purchase items that are in your shopping cart.
Another alternative extension that seems a bit easier to use if you are looking to figure out how to share your amazon cart is the “Shopping cart share” extension.
This extension works differently from Share-A-cart.
Here is how you use it
- Download the “Shopping cart share” extension for the Chrome browser. It has an Android version
- Alternatively, you can go on google and search for “Shopping cart share”
- Once you see it simply click and install it as a plugin by clicking here
- Now login to your Amazon account.
- If you have a shopping cart you can access it from the cart icon at the top right corner of the page, else simply add items to your cart using the optimized product listing
- Once you are done with this, click on “share”
- You would be able to share the link to your amazon cart with any other person
NB: This extension doesn’t have a Firefox version so it doesn’t work with Mozilla
The process of sharing a cart on your iPhone device isn’t very different from the steps listed above. However, you have to download these plugins as an app from the app store
- Download the “Share a cart” App from the Apple store.
- After installing it, launch the app and login into your amazon account via this app
- After doing this, go to your cart if you’ve stacked some items in it
- Now locate “Transfer control of the cart” and click it to share the cart with anyone via their email.
Sharing your amazon cart on your Android device isn’t very different from the steps listed above. However, you have to download these plugins as an app from the app store
here is how to do that
- Download the “Share a cart” App from the google play store.
- After installing it, launch the app and login into your amazon account via this app
- Next, go to your cart to see the items stacked in it
- Now locate “Transfer control of the cart” and click it to share the cart with anyone via their email.
For now, you cannot share your cart from your amazon app, you can only share your Wishlist which I will be talking about in the next heading.
But then if you are using your Android devices you can simply use the “Share-A-Cart ” App on the google play store to share your cart seamlessly
Just as I mentioned earlier, you can share your Wishlist with family and friends. You can allow them to edit the list or give them read access alone.
Here is how to do that
- Login to your amazon account
- Now go to your list section at the top right corner
- Select the wish list you’d like to share.
- Now, click the “+ invite” button
- On the pop-up, you will be presented with two options
- To either invite someone to view your list alone.
- Or to invite someone to view and also edit the list if they want to
- Now, you can share the link to Facebook by copying the link and pasting it wherever you want to on Facebook
The share a cart plugin is available for both chrome and Firefox browsers. Also, you can easily get it by searching it on google.
The good thing about this plugin is that they have both Android and iPhone apps which you can download to share your cart directly from your devices.
