I just tried VM3 and I'm not sure if it has some of the features which I need. If anything of this is possible let me know (or at least if there is any addon for that):
1) I would like to offer some selected items to buyer cheaper if he buys specific item - "Buy this and get product X for $X (or -X%)". Maybe even include this in drop down (like selecting color), where user selects if he want's to buy some similar product along with this one and if he does, both items are added to cart.
2) Is it possible to attach PDF to product? I would like to add manual to some of the products (maybe this is doable by custom fields?).
3) I send emails with some parameter in URL to track where user came from. Is there any way that this information is written along with users order (so that I can see in order where user came from)? Maybe by custom fields, but I can't write PHP code there, right? Because if I could I could make field hidden and set default value $_GET['parameter'].
I guess VM3 doesn't support any of those functions? Does maybe anyone know for some addons, which does something like that?

Will be soon update for VM3

3. I think that it needs a bit of coding but not a big deal
AwoCoupon can provide selected discount, BOGOF and other forms of promotion, and works on VM3. http://awodev.com/blog/buy-x-get-y-joomla
You can also add pdf data sheets & similar to products using custom fields
And yes, some coding would be needed for user tracking - or someone may have a plugin for it, something I have never needed to do.

Thanks, this looks great, just what I need. I hope it will be soon available for VM3, I'll buy it for sure if it will be out in next couple of weeks.

I have already seen this addon, but I have to enter coupon code in order to get discounts, which is not what I need - discount has to be added automatically if two or more specific items are in cart. That addon which balai recommended does just that so I'll just use that if it will be updated for VM3.

What should I select at Custom Field Type? I can's seem to find anything where I could attach some file or something like that.

Do you might know if there is any plugin, which allows me to add PHP code to custom field (so that I would add hidden field with some parameter generated dynamically)? Or maybe at least some tutorial how to make simple plugin where I can make this myself?
Hello,
Just to clarify one thing, you can setup AwoCoupon to apply the discount automatically without the customer entering a coupon code:

Oh, OK, I'll take a look a bit closer and use this if other addon won't be ready for VM3 in that time. Thanks.
I think the Product Bundles will be possibly ready within the coming week
