I don't think I did have a corresponding Product. SelectedProduct (which
Cart and Order Items inherit from) is only loosely coupled to actual
Products, there's no ForeignKey, SelectProduct just keeps a copy of the
sku. In my case I just gave the CartItem the sku "DONATION-[the amount
donated]"
It's been a long time since I did this so it's possible things have changed
and this won't work anymore, but glancing over the codebase it seems like
it should still work.
