can VM do different workflows for different products?

I'm having a developer work on a site for us and they are telling me that the plugin they are using for wordpress won't do different product flows.  I'm not a fan of WP and prefer Joomla and VM but these choices were made before I came on board.  Maybe it is a language issue but here is my question.

We don't want the cart function just the catalog function.  We'd like the person to choose their product and the cart capture that with their contact info and then forwards that to us to be assigned to a rep.

Part of what they say is an issue is that different products have a different flow.  For example, one product you choose the type, color and style.  While another product you choose the type, color and it has only 2 styles rather than 4.  That shouldn't be a problem.  But I'm hearing that there would be issues with that.

VM will do that no problem correct?

Out of the box probably not - but I built a couple of sites leveraging a Wishlist component that basically does what you want.

e.g. http://www.tsfolder.com/shop/it/abbigliamento/felpe/felpa-girocollo-detail

use Chrome browser to translate

They add products to a "list" and at checkout an email is sent with all the details of what they want..

can't see how colours, sizes etc can have any bearing on this -- my sites send these custom parameters as well

Your "Wish List" component sounds like what I need.  Is that available?

Thanks
