How to Share an Amazon Cart on iPhone or Android

Table of contents

Are you trying to figure out how to share an Amazon cart on iPhone or on Android?

Here’s the important bit up front: Amazon makes it easy to share Lists (such as sharing Amazon Wishlists), but there isn’t an official “share my entire cart as one link” feature in the Amazon shopping cart itself.

So, Amazon cart sharing on mobile typically means using one of a few workarounds.

  1. Create and share an Amazon Wish List (mobile native, supported by Amazon)
  2. Use the Share-A-Cart mobile app (comprehensive, requires separate app)
  3. Manually share individual item links (simplest way to share just a few items)

Note: There are more cart-sharing options available on PC (via Chrome extensions). If you're interested, you can read more here: How to Share Your Amazon Cart, or you can check out AMZ Cart Share directly


Quick answer: the best way to share Amazon cart on mobile

If your goal is “send what I’m buying to someone else” (partner, friend, coworker), use this rule:

On a PC/Mac? The fastest “one link for the whole cart” workflow is usually a desktop browser extension like AMZ Cart Share.


Before you start: what you can (and can’t) share on Amazon

Amazon’s built-in sharing is centered around Lists (Wish Lists, shopping lists, registries). Amazon’s own help docs describe how to share a list by inviting people with view-only or view-and-edit permissions. (Amazon Help: Share Your List)

That’s why most “share cart” mobile workflows are really one of these:


Method 1: Create and share a wishlist (best for iPhone + Android)

For most people looking to share their cart on mobile (both iPhone or Android), an Amazon wishlist is the cleanest mobile-native option because it’s officially supported and shareable.

Step-by-step: create a list and add items (mobile)

  1. Open the Amazon app (or Amazon in your mobile browser) and sign in.
  2. Go to Your Lists and create a new list (naming it something obvious like “Cart to share”).
  3. Add items to the list from each product page using Add to List. (Amazon exposes “Add to List” from product pages; it works in the app and on the website.)

Tip: If you’re sharing for a group purchase (office supplies, trip gear, etc.), a dedicated “Cart to share” list keeps things separate from your personal wishlist.

  1. Open Your Lists and select the list you want to share.
  2. Tap Invite (or “Send list to others” depending on the interface).
  3. Choose permission:
    • View only (people can see the items, but can’t edit the list)
    • View and edit (collaborative—people you invite can add/remove items)
  4. Copy the link or share it via Messages, WhatsApp, email, etc.

When wishlist sharing is the right choice

Wishlist sharing is ideal when:

Wishlist privacy notes (important)

If you’re using a Wish List for gifting, it’s worth knowing that Amazon provides settings related to Wish List shipping addresses and “third-party address sharing,” depending on list configuration.

This is important if you're sharing a wishlist with co-workers to co-ordinate office purchasing, for example. You'll want to make sure that address-sharing is enabled so all the items can be correctly purchased and delivered to your office, rather than each of your houses!


Method 2: Use the Share-A-Cart mobile app / Safari extension

If you want something closer to a "real" cart-sharing experience on mobile (instead of building a wishlist), Share-A-Cart is a popular browser extension which also has mobile apps:

iPhone / iPad (Safari): create a Cart ID code, then share it

This is the most direct "share and Amazon cart on iPhone” approach with Share-A-Cart, as long as you’re using Amazon in Safari (not the Amazon shopping app):

  1. Install Share-A-Cart from the App Store.
  2. Enable the extension: Settings → Safari → Extensions → Share-A-Cart → Allow.
  3. In Safari, open Amazon and add your items to your cart.
  4. Open the Share-A-Cart menu from Safari’s address bar (puzzle-piece icon / extensions menu).
  5. Tap Create Cart ID to generate a short code.
  6. Copy the code and send it via iMessage, WhatsApp, email, Slack, etc.

What the recipient does (iPhone/iPad):

  1. Install + enable the same Safari extension.
  2. Open the Share-A-Cart menu in Safari.
  3. Tap Receive Cart and enter your code to load the shared cart.

Note: Share-A-Cart’s codes are compatible cross-platform, so you can share a cart on mobile and send it to someone on their PC.

Android: share a Cart ID code (or at minimum, load one you receive)

On Android, apart from installing Share-A-Cart from Google Play rather than the iOS app store, the process is pretty similar:

  1. Install Share-A-Cart from Google Play.
  2. If you see a Send Cart / Create Cart ID option in the app, follow it to generate a code, then share that code.
  3. Your recipient opens the app, enters the code, and loads the cart.

If you only need to share a couple of items, the simplest how to share amazon cart mobile approach is: just share the product links.

Step-by-step: manual sharing from your phone

  1. Open the Amazon app (or mobile browser).
  2. Open the product page for the item you want to share.
  3. Use the product page Share option (or copy the URL from your browser’s address bar).
  4. Paste the link into iMessage, WhatsApp, email, Slack, etc. Reference: Linktree guide: share Amazon link

When manual sharing is the right choice

Manual links work best when:

The downside is obvious: the more items you have, the more tedious it gets.
