3. How to Migrate from VirtueMart to
WooCommerce
VirtueMart and WooCommerce have one important common feature:
they both are extensions to content management systems (CMS) –
Joomla and WordPress respectively. A CMS framework may be a
significant advantage for your online store – numerous content
management possibilities can be used to extend and develop it. The
choice between VirtueMart and WooCommerce can actually mean a
choice between Joomla and WordPress. Both platforms are worth
considering and giving preference to one of them can be a matter of
taste.
If you prefer WooCommerce, it means you are more satisfied with its functionality, usability or design.
WooCommerce is both straightforward and highly functional. It has a powerful set of features, including
product and order management, statistics, marketing and promotional tools. Various extensions and
templates are intended to expand the basic functionality of the platform and customize it according to
