    Just off the top of my head. Create a table for temprary shoppers and a table for temporary cart items. When a session starts add the visitor to this table retrieving the new id and then when they add an item to their cart add it to the items table with the temporary id.
    When the session ends delete the temporary user and any items for that user from the item table. If they checkout you will be getting the user to either login or register and then moving the items in the cart to a purchased items table with their new permanent id.
    The grid can be refreshed whenever needed to show the items in the temporary items table.
