Wordpress: sell "free" products

I would like to build a Wordpress-based E-Commerce site where users could "select" products (actually each "product" just consists of a small image and some text next to it) using a Drag and Drop function, and then "checkout" but money never coming into play. So it would seem I don't even want to use a "Payment gateway" of any kind.

Most E-Commerce sites are set up to list products with a price and have customers purchase products by adding to a cart, and then checking out using some payment gateway.

Is it possible to just list "products" with no price and no shipping costs, drag them into a checkout bin, and then checkout by saving these "products" into some type of storage bin for later retrieval?

If anyone has any ideas on how this might be done, I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Mark

Hi chilternPC,

Thanks for you comments. After the person has gathered a number of these statements into their cart, they should be taken to a Feedback page which shows which of the statements they did not pick and gives them one last chance to select any of those that were not picked. Then a button at the bottom would take them to the next section where a similar choice of picking statements would happen, followed by feedback and then on to the next section.
There would be a total of 10 such sections, and after the last section, they would be presented with a list of the statements they chose, and a list of the statements they didn't choose. That would be the only usage of the "cart."

I will look at the link you sent me. Thanks!
