    What about Virtuemart Version 2.0?

    We have worked hard beginning the programming for VM2.0 and the new Joomla platform. Unfortunately, the new platform and VM2.0 has been identified with a number of bugs that need resolved before we are able to upgrade the Virtuemart Shipping Component to VM2.0. We will continue to work on this upgrade. Please email us your contact information and we will notify you as soon as the update is finished.

    I am using SKU grouping and the shipping costs are not showing in checkout cart on the front end of Joomla?

    SKU grouping only works with SKU based shipping rates. Go to the configuration row and click EDIT. Under "Apply Multiple Quantity Ranges" select "No." The shipping costs created in the SKU based shipping and International Shipping configuration will now show in the cart.

    Again, SKU Grouping only works with the "Base Price plus Additional Price" option SKU Grouping does not work with "Multiple Quantity Ranges" enabled.

    What if the Virtuemart Shipping Premium Component does not show up after installation or appears to have not completely installed?

    If the component does not appear to be installed after using the Joomla installation then it is possible your permission settings are not allowing the component to completely install. Accordingly, you need to manually install the component.

    Click HERE and watch the how to manually install the Virtuemart Shipping Premium component training video tutorial #12 in the Playlist.

    Below is also written instructions for your convenience:

    Unpack the Supplied Installable component, and find the “admin” folder,
    And Upload the following 6 files via FTP, to the below mentioned directories..
    ** Note: This will not overwrite any VirtueMart files.

    Joomla_root/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping/ship_item_specific.php
    Joomla_root /administrator /components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping/ship_item_specific.cfg.php
    Joomla_root /administrator /components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping/ship_item_specific.ini

    Joomla_root /administrator /components/com_virtuemart/html/shipping.item_specific_add_shipper.php
    Joomla_root /administrator /components/com_virtuemart/html/shipping.item_specific_add_rate.php
    Joomla_root /administrator /components/com_virtuemart/html/shipping.item_specific_sku.php

    Now, it will be listed in the VirtueMart Shipping modules list in Admin end ready to configure the rates.
