Hi,
I've dug around but can't find the answer, can a Shopper (Registered) access their order/purchase details?
eg What the Shopper have purchased, the dollar amount etc.
The site I'm working on is only local at the moment.
VM VirtueMart 2.6.6

Make a joomla menu link to VirtueMart Account Maintenance. There the orders can be viewed after logging in.

AH

You could also make a more specific menu item (View your orders) that only appears when a users is logged in.

the non sef url is this - index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=orders&layout=list


(NOTE: do not restrict the "maintain account" menu item to only logged in users, as no customer will be able to complete the customer details on checkout!
The url of maintain account is this
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=user&layout=edit
)

Thanks for the reply Hutson,
If I use the view orders option, what menu item do I select when creating a new menu item?
Appreciate your tips thank you

Sorry to bang on with this but if I use the "VirtueMart Account Maintenance" option it works just great but it shows a Registration form which I don't want. Have searched for options to disable this and searched for the code so I could comment it out but no luck.

That is why I prefer not to show maintain account as an option, just remove it from the menu and show a login option instead

They can get to maintain account after logging in

You can then have the list orders option appear only when they are already logged in
