Posted by Unknown on 2/21/13

Virtuemart is absolutely huge. By some counts, it stands second in popularity amongst all eCommerce platforms.

Right now the Virtuemartteam is getting ready to launch VirtueMart Version 2.0 for Joomla 1.7. So this is a great opportunity to give you an introductory tutorial.

VirtueMart comes with a lot of flexibility and there are also many additional extensions available. Get started with the following tutorial. Afterwards you can move on to more advanced features and extensions with confidence.

Getting Started with Virtuemart
Virtuemart comes with some sample data. One of the best ways to get a quick start on using  Virtuemart is to set up a development site with the sample data, and start modifying it. In the process of making changes you will learn how to maneuver through the admin, and set up shop. In addition to installation, we'll cover:

An overview of the default setup
Using the Administration section
Modifying the store front
Modifying the standard currency
Modifying product prices and display
Enabling PayPal as the payment method
Enabling basic shipping methods
VirtueMart is full of details and options. This will give you a good foundation of skills you need. Since VM 2.0 is so new, there are still many features that need to be developed, and will be available in the coming months. If you learn these basics you'll be able to take advantage of the full power of VM 2.0 as it's released.
