Add users to a group when they purchase a product

[codeslayer42]

I`m looking for a plugin for VM3 to automate adding users to a group when they buy a certain product.
This might be similar to some kind of virtual products shipment but instead of sending a download link I would just need to add the user to a certain joomla group. Emailing the user about his new status (group membership) would be a great plus.

Dear Codeslayer,
Our "Add Buyers to Joomla Groups for VirtueMart" plugin does exactly what you want:
http://open-tools.net/virtuemart/add-buyers-to-joomla-groups.html
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/extension-specific/virtuemart-extensions/add-buyers-to-joomla-groups-for-virtuemart

E-Mailing the user about the modification to the joomla group is not implemented in the plugin, though.

Best regards,
Reinhold (Open Tools)
