If you don’t have any existing Lists, you’ll be brought to the List intro page, which contains some basic info. In case you already have one or more Lists, you’ll see your default List instead. Either way, click Create a List again to make a new one, then give it a clear name.
Once you have at least one List, click its name under the Your Lists section mentioned above to access it.
Click this button to add the item to your default List. If you’d like to add it to a different List, click the arrow next to the button and choose one. There’s also a Create a List button here if you need to make another.
Once you’ve added some items to a List, you can edit its contents.
In your List, you’ll see an image for each item, along with some basic information about it like the current price, buying options, and the review average.
On the right side, the List shows when you added the item. Since Lists keep track of what an item’s price was when you added it, you’ll see a note if the price dropped, and by how much.
Use Move to send the item to a different List or Delete if you’re no longer interested in it. To add more information, click Add comment, quantity, & priority. Here, you can add a short note (useful for remembering why you want something, or to provide instructions for others) as well as the priority and how many of them you need.
Mouse over any item, and handles will appear on the left side that let you rearrange the order. Use Filter & Sort to auto-arrange your List by priority or price. You can filter to show only unpurchased or purchased items, which is handy for wishlists. If there are a lot of items, the search bar will come in handy.
When you’re ready to buy, click Add to Cart.
The last set of options for your List lies under the three-dot More menu at the top-right. Click this and choose Manage List for some more handy options.
On this page, you’ll find a few self-explanatory options, like List Name. Some are more useful, such as Privacy. Choose Private if the list is only for you, Shared if you want those who have the link to access it, and Public if you’d like it to be viewable by everyone.
Manage List with Alexa lets you choose if you want to add items and be able to read the List with your Echo’s voice assistant. You can add a Description to give more info about the recipient, and choose a different Shipping Address if needed.
The last two checkboxes let you control what happens with purchased items. Keep purchased items on this list is useful if you want to keep track of everything regardless of bought status, while Don’t spoil my surprises will keep items shown as unpurchased for several weeks after someone buys them so you don’t know what’s coming to you.
Finally, you’ll see a Default List checkbox to change which list is used by default, as well as Delete List for those you no longer need.
Lists are useful for your own purposes, such as keeping track of items you want to buy for a certain project or just monitoring prices over time. But it’s also simple to share Lists with one or multiple people.
Click Invite or Send list to others on the list to start. Choose to invite people to View Only, or View and Edit if you want them to make changes. Once you make your choice, you’ll see an option to copy your List link or send it via email. Send the link any way you like, then anyone who opens it can review your List.
On the top bar, click Your Friends to see all the Lists that have been shared with you.
One of them is an Idea List, which is a Pinterest-like collection of products organized around a theme. You can use these to, for instance, create a suggested collection of items for a friend’s home office renovation or make a public decoration guide that anyone can check out.
Finally, don’t forget that while viewing your Cart, you can click the Save for Later option on any item. This will move it to the below section to remind you of it alter and let you easily add it back to your cart. Saved for Later doesn’t track price drops, and it’s not a proper List, but does function similarly.
