You can definitely lose a big client because of VMart. Magento has lots of great rules that go beyond Buy X get Y Free. There's a video on their site that goes into some detail.

Thanks for the info, Jeff. It's unacceptable to have this type of problem in an ecommerce application -- you could lose your business over it! ----- Original Message ---- From: Jeff Siegel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: NYPHP SIG: Joomla <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 5:08:42 PM Subject: Re: [joomla] Virtuemart -- anyone else having SERIOUS problems with it?! Unfortunately Virtuemart DOES have serious issues. For one project in particular we ended up spending a ton of hours to fix it. We've been working with Magento. It's a great product IF (noticed that big IF!) you will basically use the features as-is and just need to reskin it. If you need to do some reengineering...be prepared for a steep learning curve and lots of complexity.
