This book demonstrates the setting up of an on-line Joomla! e-commerce site from scratch using VirtueMart. It focuses specifically on e-commerce and VirtueMart. It teaches all the aspects of quickly setting up a feature-packed, easy-to-build e-commerce site—from basic installation and configuration of Joomla and VirtueMart through adding features step-by-step to an example web site to deployment.

The book begins with an introduction to VirtueMart with an explanation of its capabilities and how you can use it to earn money from your Joomla! site. This is followed by the necessary installation and configuration of Joomla! and VirtueMart to enable you to lay the foundation of your web site. Then it explains configuration of the VirtueMart store, which includes payment and shipping methods, configuring zones, and currencies.

The book then looks at managing products, customers, and orders, and customizing the web site appearance, all through demonstration so that you can build your own store with minimum effort, investment, and time. It also illustrates the promotion and public-relations factors such as banner ads, featured products, coupons, and more, so that you can build a wide customer base. It follows this up with examples of more advanced features such as localization and using extensions for bulk import/export of products to your VirtueMart shop, to suit your individual store needs. Maintenance, troubleshooting, and security, which are essential for running your site, are also explained. There is also an Appendix provided for configuring shipping and payment modules.

I think it's a must-have for all new and also experienced VirtueMart Store Owners!

Cristi Lupu: ...

The chapter about the Payment module disappoint me. I expected that somebody who write a book about this piece of software to test it before. Both measure payment methods Paypal and Authorize.Net have bugs.
Paypal doesn't receive IPN, the order status need to be update manually
Authorize.Net not work in test mode.
Of course for both there are small fix.
But looking for entire book is an excellent start to setup Joomla and VirtueMart.

SnottyNoze: My rating: Fair - needs improvement.

Seems to be the only comment related to the book!

I bought this. While it is useful, there is a level of detailed instruction missing, for which I bought this book! Much of this is little more than the documentation.

He needs to beef it up with more detail on how to do things - not just say - do this or that, but explain FULLY - and THEN re-release it.
