Find the best prices with Amazon Assistant for Chrome in 3 easy steps

Get Amazon Assistant

The first step to gaining access to the easiest way to shop with Amazon is to get the Amazon Assistant extension. You can also check out our guide to the best Chrome extensions for Amazon for more information. No fuss, just functionality.

All you need to do on the download page is click on Add to Chrome, and your browser will take care of the rest. It may take a minute for the extension to install, just enough time to make a fresh cup of coffee before settling into a good session of online shopping.

Open Amazon Assistant

If you’ve used Chrome extensions before, you’ll know where to go from here. If not, all you need to do is look for the puzzle piece icon in your browser’s toolbar. Clicking on this icon will trigger a drop-down list of all the extensions you have installed. From here, you simply need to click on Amazon Assistant, and a new pop-up will appear. You’ll need to click the dark blue Get Started button at the bottom of the interface to continue with the setup.

Add to Wish List

Amazon Assistant has the ability to find matches on Amazon from any other retail site. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense to check the functionality of the extension by only visiting the Amazon web store, so for the purpose of this tutorial, we’re going to venture into the weird world of Wish.com.

We’re getting into the warmer months now, so I’ve settled on adding a little fan for my desk to my Wish List on Amazon. All I need to do is click on the extension icon, as before, and open up the Amazon Assistant. From here, I merely need to click on Add to List, and Amazon Assistant will add my chosen fan to a list or registry of my choosing.
