I must say all the positive reviews here are well deserved.
Installation went smooth, the component is really easy but with a lot of features.
Don't worry thinking is not as popular as VM or that it doesn't have so many modules and extensions cause the team is constantly developing new features.
The support is excellent and this means that they guys in the team even answer on a sunday or during the weekend and most questions are answered in few hours.
There's an extensive documentation on their webpage too covering all the areas.
The component still has some work to do specially in their shipping methods, quite limited right now but as their component becomes more and more popular have no doubt Hikashop is the present and future of e-commerce in Joomla.

After trying new version for some weeks I'm really dissapointed.
Administrator doesn't have and easy setup for begginers or even users with knowledge from 1.x versions.
When you release a new component and the older version is better there's something going wrong.
These new VM2.0 is though for developers which have a lot of time to tweak and understand how this component works, not recommended at all for begginers.
I couldn't even get my shop to show the price for products... something which shouldn't take me days to solve and I had my VM 1.x version perfectly set up.
There are better solutions out there right now and VM really has to work on their layout and simplicity if they want to reach others than developers.
This new version made me migrate to Hikashop and I have been a VM user for years now.
Even If you disable the swf object and use it without flash module won't validate on web standards. There is no support and module is abandoned. Don't waste your time with this module as I did.
Great point you bring up manuxx2 about non standards compliance. Did you use your clever firefox developers tool bar validation to figure that one out?
Here's an idea! Why don't you do as much research into web standards compliance and embedding flash movies as I have? Go read up on alistapart.com they seem to be the authority on the subject. Then you may realise the W3C work on developing standards that Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and the publishers of Flash, which would be Adobe, don't strictly adhere to. For clear reasons, Flash movies (also called swf's) are not apart of the W3C standards. While it is possible to embed swf's with HTML that validates, the result wont be cross browser compatible. Please advise which is more important?
manuxx2, thank you for the review, but that's not true.
It might a problem in your template code. You can send me a link to your site and I will help you to find a decision.
Contact me from my website.
Thank you! :-)
On the product page says that the response time may be longer because I have my business trips. I'm sorry that you did not read with understanding.
Thank you for your purchase.
Theres no plugin whatsoever for Virtuemart, and you can't earn points for buying products.
This may confuse users like me, please edit description.
This is a component for managin points given by other methods, articles send, reviews etc, but no integration with VM at all.
Would be perfect if you solved the issue about importing this images and add an option to to extract reports from different shopper groups.
Apart from this, the component is great and will save lots of hours, great improvement from the simple reports system on VM.
Hi manuxx2, in our latest release v1.4 we have included the "Shopper Groups" report area. Thank you for your feedback.
For the component it does what it says, works perfectly.
