Yeah, I th ought I wasn't clear enough. When a user picks a product from the catalog, the client wishes to be able to assign a ship group to that regular product, and a quantity, during catalog browse time. This is complicated by having to support anonymous browsing, without anyone logged in. I have this part supported, by setting a generic, free-form attribute on the ShoppingCartItem(it's a patch I added recently). The question becomes what to do with any promos that are added to the cart. What ship group should they be assigned to? What happens if multiple ship groups have been created during browse, and the quantities get updated? Any promos that have been assigned to a previous ship group are removed during the doPromotions logic.
