What K2mart really does is that it will integrate Virtuemart and K2 allowing you to build your product catalog using K2's advanced content, taxonomy and templating options with Virtuemart's powerful cart and checkout functionality.
Requirement
- Joomla 2.5 latest. Joomla 1.7 still in supporting but lacks of stability
- K2 2.5.5 or later
- VM v2.0.2 or later
Install/Update
- Install in Extension Manager as usual.
- If using K2mart v1, it's NOT impossible to update to this.
How to use?
- Create products by K2mart
- K2mart automatically syncs this product into VM
- Edit product in K2mart and get updated automatically in VM! (vice verse not right however!)
- If using VM already, you can use K2mart migrator to import those existing products into K2mart!
| K2 item field -> | Virtuemart product field |

Our products
Remember that with some specific purposes, you still need modules supporting K2mart so that your shop works seamlessly. We proudly created something like that. The good news is that in our modules for K2 from now then, we will support K2mart inside. So just consider some K2 modules from this catalog for consideration!
Thank you.
