The vendors will only be able to compare the group tag being worn by the customer to the group tag the vendor has been rezzed under or set to after rezzing.
If you are at a shopping event, you'll need to check the autoreturn times - some events will have autoreturn off, but rezzing only for the event group. This allows you to rez a vendor, and then change the group afterward.
You will be able to set the group tag from the right-click > edit window, as shown here:

=== LSL Limitations ===
----
Remember, LSL does not recognize a "null" (or L$0) value - the payment popup will always appear to ask for at least $1L, but that '''will''' be refunded immediately.
Simplest method for your customers is to simply set the gift version of your product to L$0 from within the listing.
If you want the same product also sold at retail price, then create a variant for the group gift, and set the variant to L$0.
Yes, the variant can deliver the same product package as the original.
