VirtueMart is a complete shopping cart program. It must be used together with the content management system Joomla! or Mambo. Both VirtueMart and Joomla are released under the GNU General Public License, which means by the end, they are free for download and use. Joomla! and VirtueMart are developed in PHP and made for easy use in a PHP / MySQL environment.
Virtuemart Web Store Solution Features
Virtuemart Online Store Solution supports an unlimited number of products and categories, with products able to be assigned to multiple 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 Online Store Solution is an open source e-commerce 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.

Notably new to VirtueMart 1.1.0 was the inclusion of the ability to quickly change themes for category, product, checkout and cart pages.
