This product does not work and completely ABANDONED by developer.
There is NO SUPPORT, NO MONEY BACK.
AVOID AT ALL COST - BECAUSE YOU WILL TROW YOUR MONEY. You better spend it on something else.
As many users, I'm waiting for support almost a month !!! Since I've purchased product. Seller don't reply to any e-mails, support tickets.
There is NO ANY SUPPORT & NO MONEY BACK !!!
I just purchase this module because it they advertise it as "No core hacks are needed for VirueMart!"
However, in order to install it you will need to hacked/modify many Virtue-Mart's core files.
The problem is that after, it doesn't work anyway, and you have to figure out, how fix it by yourself.
This kind of DOA products and such irresponsible developers should be BANNED from Joomla extensions list.
So, if you willing to make a GIFT to that seller, then you may pay for it.

This module looked so promising for me, so I bought it. After trying for 8 days to get the layout of the form data as it should be, I found out that multiple forms with this module gives a weird and unexplainable error. The support center is just terrible and no help AT ALL. The posted question gets MAYBE answered, but no earlier then four days after posting your question. With the standard excuse, ‘I was out of town’. And the answers are very short and limited, so you still have to figure it out for yourself if you don’t understand the developers ‘Morse code’. Having a forum has no use whatsoever if the solved topics don’t get posted, but are pm-ed.
In short: if you need only one form, this maybe could be your solution, but I hope you have a good PHP knowledge, because you can’t find any support with Bixie.

This module is simple to use and understand.
I had some difficulties in the beginning, but that was more due to the fact that I was trying to master this module and Chronoforms at the same time. There was a little bit of a learning curve getting Chronoforms to work exactly how I wanted. Once that problem was resolved, I started to play around with the different options that this module offers.
The manual is detailed enough, but I found watching the videos offered on the authors website to be much more valuable and helped speed along the learning curve. I would recommend watching these videos.

I like how Bixie VirtueMart-Chronoform Module allows me to ad as detailed of a Chronoform as I want. Our Zoweh Ministries website offers guests the ability to sign up and register for events and Bixie is a great solution for that. I couldn't get it to work at first but the customer support was awesome. For the low cost of the module...I got "platinum" level service which included a patch to work with my hosting configuration. Nice work and thanks!
Not only does the module work fantastically but the after care and support from Matthijs has been out standing. It has honestly made me review my own attitude to the support I give my clients.
I had a few problems, not with the module but with my limited knowledge and Matthijs has helped me through out the whole process. I must have been the client from hell and even managed to wreck the form that the shop was using but Matthijs patiently stepped in again to save the day.
Regarding the module: it does what it says it can do and a whole lot more. Virtuemart has always been outstanding but combined with Chronoform and the Bixie Module you can turn an ordinary store into just about any thing you'll ever need.
I have no hesitation in recommending this module.

Celiento's on crack man! This module is sweet. I did have a little hassle with downloading it though. It could have been my fault, but I'd recommend that if you're gonna get this, create an account BEFORE you buy it. I kinda freaked out and hassled the support when I didn't hear back from them after ages - turned out the dude was just on holidays, no worries :)
Anyways, whatever about that, the manual is perfect and this is in NO WAY difficult to set up. It's a standard module install and patch (very easy with FTP - or even Ninjaxplorer). Incredibly useful tool for those of us who sell online :)

Thanks for the compliments!
You don't even need FTP for install, as you can install the patches for the default template with the VirtueMart updater.
This along with virtueupload are the heart of my site. Without them my site would be useless. It has made my workload so much easier. No more trying to match uploads and orders and form info to customers. My customers think it is so much easier to order and I have no complaints anymore on my site. It was a little confusing at first to install correctly since it was in beta. But the tech support has always been great in helping me trouble shoot problems, most of which were due to my template and IE. The developer has been wonderful in helping my solve problems and adding functionality that I needed. One of the most helpful developers and extensions I have come across.
The module is very interesting. I would like to thank you for it, it helped me a lot despite that it is complex. Fortunately, the support team is very responsive. Thanks again and I'm waiting for the 2nd version
