Virtuemart features
Today Virtuemart is one of the most popular free components for creating online stores. This is due to the simplicity of its installation and the great opportunities it has.
Virtuemart allows you to create an unlimited number of products and product categories, and users have the ability to perform a quick search by product, manufacturer or category with filtering by any signs (price, discount amount, etc.). You will be able to set different prices for products of the same type for different categories of customers either by marking products as “special” or participating in a sale. Each of the products can be assigned a different currency, and the component can automatically convert the price from one currency to another.
Also, users are provided with a history of orders, the ability to manage addresses and delivery methods, to purchase discount coupons. Also, customers will be able to subscribe, so that they receive a notification of the appearance of any product. And they have the opportunity to leave feedback on products that can be moderated or automatically approved. The online store will support various payment methods, including most well-known payment systems and credit cards. With the help of Virtuemart, the store owner will receive detailed statistics on the number of orders and new customers. Also, this component provides for the preparation of reports that show the level of income for a month, year, or other period of time.
