VirtueMart is a complete Ecommerce solution, and must be used together with the Content Management System Joomla!. Both are released under the GNU General Public License, which means that basically, they are free for download and use. Joomla! and VirtueMart are both written in PHP and made for easy use in a PHP / MySQL environment.
VirtueMart is the leading Online-Shop Solution for Joomla! with over 2 million downloads. It is reported to be the third most popular Ecommerce program in the world and is actually used in more websites than osCommerce, PrestaShop, and OpenCart.
VirtueMart supports an unlimited number of products and categories, it also permits the sale of downloadable products and offers a catalog mode where the Shopping Cart features are turned off. VirtueMart supports multiple prices for a single product, based around shopper groups or a quantity range, and permits the use of a variety of different payment gateways. Because VirtueMart is an Open Source Ecommerce solution, all the application code is openly visible in PHP. This allows PHP developers to view, update or customize the operation of the Shopping Cart.
