I totally get the struggle. Dealing with clunky vendor sites is basically a full-time job in itself... and yeah, sharing passwords is a huge no-go for me. I'm always super paranoid about security stuff, so I would suggest being really careful with any tool that asks for too much access to your browser data or personal info. I actually stumbled upon Share-A-Cart a while back when our office chairs needed replacing and I was in the same boat. It's pretty straightforward and doesn't feel sketchy like some other extensions. Basically, it just grabs the items in your cart and generates a unique code or link you can send over to your manager. Here is what I usually do to make sure everything stays safe:

• Download the extension from the official web store only so you know it's vetted.
• Check that the vendor site is actually supported before you waste too much time.
• Send the link via your internal company chat or email so it stays private. It's way better than a messy spreadsheet tbh. Just make sure to double-check the final cart total before your boss hits buy because dynamic links can be weird sometimes. It saved me a massive headache and I didn't have to hand over my login credentials once... which is the main thing lol. Good luck with those desk setups!

@Reply #1 - good point! Security really is the biggest hurdle when you're just trying to get a simple approval done without compromising the whole company account. Honestly, those dynamic links are the worst because they're usually tied to your specific session ID, so once you log out or the session expires, the link is dead weight. If you're looking for a workaround for this furniture nightmare, you might want to consider using a dedicated cart sharing tool instead of the manual copy-paste route. I would suggest being very careful with any browser extension that asks for full read/write access to your browser data though. Some of those free tools are basically data miners. Make sure to check the permissions before you install anything. If you want a reliable way to do this, especially if you ever buy office supplies elsewhere, using something like share amazon cart can show you how a smooth workflow actually looks compared to these clunky legacy sites. One thing to keep in mind is the cost of your time. Spending three hours fixing a spreadsheet for a fifteen hundred dollar order is a huge drain. I'd almost suggest just doing a screen recording of you scrolling the cart if you're in a total rush, but for a professional look, a tool that generates a static link is the only way to go without giving up your password. Just double-check that the prices stay locked in when you share it... sometimes these sites update live and it can mess up your approved budget. Hope you get that desk setup soon, sounds like a headache.

Regarding what #1 said about "I totally get the struggle. Dealing with clunky..."

• I definitely feel that pain since I spend way too much time testing different procurement workflows. Security is a massive deal, so I agree we shouldn't be handing out credentials or session cookies. I think there are browser extensions that specifically address this by generating a unique URL for the cart contents. IIRC, these tools pull the item data and host it on a third-party page so the manager sees exactly what's in the bin without needing to log in. Not 100% sure if it supports every niche office furniture vendor, but checking out how to share amazon cart guides can show you the general logic behind these extensions. Someone told me once that certain tools can even transfer items between accounts if you're on the same domain. It seems way cleaner than a messy PDF, tho I'd double-check if your IT department allows those scrapers first...

I went through this exact headache last quarter with a tech order. Tried to do the manual copy-paste thing into a doc and it was a total mess because the dynamic links died before my boss even saw them. I am usually pretty cautious about browser tools since security is a concern, so I prefer stuff that doesnt touch my actual login. Reliability is basically the most important factor when you have a deadline like yours. Is this just for this specific furniture site or are you looking for something that works everywhere? Also, do you need your boss to be able to edit the cart or just view the total? I have found PriceDropCatch is a decent option for tracking costs without needing an account, but it depends on your needs for this specific workflow.
