I need to pay for it? In VM before 2.0 this feauture was free...Is there a free way to do this?

Foggykt, when a program is all-new, it is released with fewer, but tested extensions. As the program continues to grow and mature more extensions are added.

You can wait for VirtueMart to release with this extension included; I do not know, but suspect that functionality like this is likely to be added in the future. No guarantees and we do not know when. OR, you can pay the 30 Euros about 40 US bucks to have it today.

foggykt VirtueMart 2 is released as a core system to which additional functions are added by plugins. This makes it easier for the developers to maintain a stable core which itself has many hooks for 3rd party developers to attach plugins to. As the majority of VM stores are built to ship real goods, not downloadables, the core is developed without a pay for download built in facility. This is therefore an additional plugin so can be developed to suit different products, such as software, video files, mp3s or epub ebooks.

eStores are either built by a developer who builds in any additional plugin or module costs to their quote, or by shopkeepers who now that for a small outlay they can have a cart system up and running with the aim of making sales and therefore a profit. As with any business, development costs can be offset against tax.
