Hello everyone,
is there any way to set virtuemart to sell digital goods like courses? It means no shipment etcetera.
Thanks in advance.
Do you mean digital goods for download once bought?
No,
I'm sorry if I did not make myself clear. I am developing an e-learning web site with Moodle, connected with a Joomla web site. To access to the courses, users have to buy them and I decided to sell them with Virtuemart. It works well (even if I still have to customize it to let users to buy just one packet of courses and not more), but it shows the shipment informations, that in my case are misleading. I am wondering if there is any way, even through a plugin, to cut this shipment part. I just thought that selling digital goods might have the same needings.
Shipping digital goods for downloads requires a special plugin. All you have to do it set up free shipping using the standard weight-countries plugin, set it to autoselect on checkout and either hide it at checkout using a template override or change the displayed shipping text to something relevant to your store with a language override.
Sorry for my late replay Kelvyn.
As standard weight countries plugin you mean the one provided by VM2? Cause, if so, I can't see the options you're talking about ...

You can manage this not in plugins but in VM shipment methods
I can't see how. The only available option for the shipment is "VM shipment - by Weight, ZIP and countries".

You can also Sell membership.

and here the tutorial, http://extensions.virtuemart.net/all-tutorials/9-custom-fields/9-shipment-for-virtual-products
some of our customers use moodle with it.
Thank you everyone for your answer.
Yeah, it looks like the plugin is the best solution for me, I think I'll follow that path.
