Look I'm in a bit of a rush because I need to get this gear ordered for our small studio setup here in Austin by tonight if we want it by Friday morning and I'm totally stuck on the checkout part. We are using this shared cart app thingy so my business partner can add the specific cables and monitors he wants because honestly I have no clue what half that stuff is but now I'm worried about the actual payment.
I read on one help forum that most of these cart sharing plugins only let the collaborator "suggest" items to the main account holder who then has to pay for everything on one card but then another reddit thread mentioned some sites allow guest checkout links where anyone can pay. It's super confusing because we actually need to split the payment for tax reasons.
If he hits checkout on his end is it gonna force him to use my saved info or can he just put in his own card details like a normal purchase? I really dont want to have to Venmo each other thousands of dollars back and forth if we can just do it separately. Can a cart collaborator actually checkout using their own payment method or is it always tied to the person who started the cart?
In my experience, these shared cart situations can get real messy real fast. This reminds me of when my buddy and I tried to kit out a recording booth. We had twenty items in the basket and spent hours debating who was buying the soundproofing vs the mics. Ngl, it turned into such a huge ordeal we missed the shipping deadline...
