Most Flexible ecommerce extension for Joomla



Posted on 11 July 2013
This Extension is great in many ways. Most importantly the various and advanced options it has. Creating child products with their own attributes is a feature many commercial CMS or extension do not have. Best choice for an advance eCommerce solution.

Joomla + Virtuemart = BEST E-Commercial website

This is a great extension. VM1->VM2 migration tool is perfect.

My 2 cents



Posted on 27 June 2013
I have used VM since 1.1 and now currently on 2.0.20b. There are issues and there are set backs. 90% of the time is lies between keyboard and chair. :( Documentation is difficult and can be daunting.

I have learned that if you want to get help on the VM forum, you need to be active and help where you can. It's free after all and development is at the mercy of someones free time.



Over all it has had many ups and many more downs. However the VM team has done a good job and I do appreciate their hard work.

Works good

I migrated my website from oscommerce to this platform and this platform has some good features than oscommerce platform. like in oscommerce zoom option for images is not available by default.



I like this extension very much. I m novice in joomla so I was not able to configure it but my programmer helped me install it
Owner's reply: Thank you for your kind comments, once you get to know Virtuemart, you will find many more features that will help you build your on-line business and we also have a very active forum to help you learn more. Thank you again

Brilliant

By far the best extension for your online store.Easy to use and easily customisable. At first can seem a little daunting.Lacks some features like multi image upload, so if you have many products you have to upload images one by one.Forums suggest to use FTP and update media files and tables but nah.A more intuitive interface would be great to say link products by image or by field eg color.However there are some great extensions that can achieve this like cherrypicker. Recommended update to latest version for security (aio first) and back end virtuemart second. Overall excellent:-)

Not Really up to scratch

Very archaic design that is not at all intuitive, especially if you have used other modern ecommerce extensions and lots and lots of bugs still in version 2.0.20b



Forum support? If you get 1 in 3 questions responded to feel privileged. If you get any answered without being insulted go and buy a lottery ticket.



There are more powerful, feature rich ecommerce systems out there that are both easier to use, less buggy and with better documentation. Your clients will thank you.



One VM2 project was one too many.

It's best Shopping Cart for Joomla



Posted on 26 May 2013
I think It's best Shopping Cart for Joomla.

I made many VirtueMart Shop and I love VirtueMart.

Great extension



Posted on 03 May 2013
This is a great extension. Thanks to the comunity by develop and support this project.

not easy



Posted on 03 May 2013
I honestly found this a bit hard to use, but overall it wasn't as bad as some of the others in this niche.

Ok but behind the curve

As others have thoroughly explained, documentation is sketchy at best. This solution is UNAVAILABLE for Joomla! 3 altogether. Of course their website failed to provide a page for "system requirements" so I didn't know that until after the fact.



The system works if you want to downgrade to Joomla! 2.5.
Owner's reply: Yes at begin we concentrated on fixing bugs. Since the relaunch we have new virutemart 2 documentation http://docs.virtuemart.net/
The requirements are written down here http://virtuemart.net/downloads . VM2 has the same requirements as joomla 2.5. The experience with j1.6 and j1.7 tells us that we wait with joomla 3.x compatibility for the next LTS 3.5. Expect that we will be ready in time.
