I really like the Virtuemart script but found that Joomla itself has a lot of vulnerabilities. Finally had to remove it from my site, switching to xCart. Though xCart is one that you have to pay for.

I'm currently implementing a VirtueMart site. If you want to customize it at all, I can't say that I would really recommend it for anyone that isn't an experienced programmer. You're going to spend a lot of time getting it the way you want. It is not at all plug-and-play.

Thank you for the answers... I'm used to CubeCart and learned a lot about... actually will be bored to learn from scrach another one ... will see...

How big were the websites? Did they have a large inventory? A warehouse/shop and used the website as a front or was it solely an internet website?

Basically, do you think Virtuemart is good enough to take seriously? I have a project lined up which requires CMS+e-commerce but focus is more on e-commerce so I don't want a supplementary e-commerce system - That's coming from a Magento regular.

They were only little things with a few items. Personally I would have done the whole thing with a few buttons, but they weren't my projects

Sometimes I'm just the "hired hand"
