How to Transfer Your Amazon Cart to Another Account
Amazon doesn’t provide a built-in way to move a shopping cart from one account to another. If you’re switching accounts, shopping for someone else, or separating work and personal purchases, you’ll need a workaround.
In this guide, you’ll learn the fastest and most reliable ways to transfer your Amazon cart without recreating it item by item.
When You Might Need to Transfer an Amazon Cart
- Switching from a work Amazon account to a personal one
- Moving items to a partner or family member’s account
- Changing regions (e.g., Amazon.com → Amazon.ca)
- Handing off a cart so someone else can check out
In all of these cases, the goal is the same: move the cart completely, not just show it to someone.
Method 1: Transfer Your Amazon Cart with Add My Cart
The easiest way to transfer an Amazon cart to another account is by using Add My Cart, which creates a private link containing all your cart items, quantities, and selections.
How it works
- Open your Amazon cart in Account A
- Click “Share Cart” using the Add My Cart extension
- Open the generated link while signed into Account B
- Add all items to the new account’s cart with one click
Once the items are added to Account B, you can safely delete them from Account A. The cart has been transferred.
Why this works well
- Transfers entire carts at once
- Preserves quantities and product variations
- Works for Amazon Fresh & Whole Foods
- No need to manually copy links
This method is ideal if accuracy and speed matter.
Method 2: Manually Rebuild the Cart
You can transfer a cart manually by copying each product link and adding it to the other account.
Steps
- Open each product in your cart
- Copy the product URL
- Open the link while signed into the new account
- Add the item to the cart
Downsides
- Time-consuming for large carts
- Easy to miss items
- Quantities and options may reset
This approach works only for very small carts.
Method 3: Use an Amazon Wishlist
Another workaround is adding items to an Amazon wishlist and opening that list from another account.
Limitations
- Wishlists are not true carts
- Items must be added one by one
- Quantities may not carry over
This is better for long-term lists than actual cart transfers.
What Transfers (Prices, Prime, Availability)
When you transfer a cart:
- Prices update based on the new account
- Prime benefits depend on the receiving account
- Availability depends on delivery location
The cart items transfer, but pricing and availability depend on the recipient’s Amazon account.
Conclusion: The Fastest Way to Transfer Your Cart
If you need to move an Amazon cart from one account to another, Add My Cart is the fastest and most accurate solution. It avoids manual copying and ensures nothing gets lost.
Once the items are added to the new account, the transfer is complete.
