Title: Virtuemart to sell services : good way ?
Post by: S@sh@ on March 24, 2016, 11:33:28 AM
Hello,

I would like to start a business based on digital services (hosting like) no stock, no pay download.
Virtuemart can do the job ?

I would like something similar with real time calculation : https://www.leaseweb.com/dedicated-server/configure/22542

Other question : do virtuemart follow good practices in terms of web e-commerce, example : purchase a maximum of 3 steps ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Regards.

I sell services like technical assistance and VM works perfectly, but my business is not so elaborate like yours.
However, a good use of custom fields should work for your needs.
Three steps... The most time consuming operations are the ones related to registration and choice payment method (and shipment method as well). These can't be overridden, IMHO.
Once the user is registered, each next purchase is quick and simple.

Hi,
Current Problem, is that VM 3.0 have no real configurable pack. Because some plugin permit to add multiple products, but not to reedit it and prevent removing options.
So this depend how you need to get the information, but i think you need to develop your own plugin for your case.
Perhaps someone have see a plugin for your need, but not me.
