How can I share my active shopping cart via a direct link?

Ive been managing our office tech procurement for like five years now and usually I just screenshot the cart or use a share wishlist feature if the site has it but this time its different. Im trying to order a bunch of specific components for our new video editing suite—weve got a $4,500 budget and the deadline to submit the order for approval is tomorrow at noon.

Usually I just send a PDF but my boss wants to actually click into the cart to verify the specs before he hits pay. I tried just copying the URL from the checkout page but obviously that doesnt work because its tied to my local session cookies and when I sent it to him he just got an empty cart error page. I even tried looking for some kind of permalink or a share cart button but this specific site doesnt seem to have a native API or plugin for that.

Its driving me crazy because I have like 45 items in there and I really dont want to have to manually recreate the whole list on his computer. Is there some kind of browser extension or maybe a trick with the URL parameters that lets me pass the session ID or something? I really need a direct link solution that works across different browsers or some way to generate a temporary URL that doesnt expire immediately...

I built a custom setup last month. It works well.

  • specs verified
  • no complaints I just use Easy Cart Share whenever I need to show someone what's in my cart without giving out my login info.
