so I was thinking I could just build the list as a guest and somehow export it but my logic was probably flawed because I read that guest carts are just local cookies. i'm really anxious because this is for our community kitchen event this saturday and i have like 25 bulk items ready to go but no account of my own.
i saw something about using browser extensions like share-a-cart but it seems like those might still need you to be logged in to actually 'send' the data and i just want to avoid the whole sign-up process entirely. what happens if my browser crashes? is there any way to just get a simple link to send the treasurer without them needing my password or me needing an account...

i actually went through this exact same thing last summer when i was organizing a neighborhood block party. i spent like two hours picking out bulk supplies as a guest and then my laptop forced an update and i lost everything. honestly it was a total disaster and i learned the hard way that guest carts are super unstable. basically if you clear your cookies or your browser glitches you are back to square one. i eventually found a tool that lets you turn the items into a simple url without needing to log in at all. it saved me so much stress because i could just text the link to the person with the credit card. it worked fine and i didnt have to deal with the whole signup hassle. i use Cart to Link whenever im doing collaborative shopping — just generate a link and share it on WhatsApp or whatever
