Want to migrate your CMS too?
Why should you? If your VirtueMart webshop makes heavy use of the nice and cool features of Joomla, why not keep the CMS and migrate the VirtueMart shop only. Using our MageBridgeTM extension you can integrate Magento into Joomla and thus replace VirtueMart in a clean way.
Current version
The current version of Vm2Mage is version 0.5.
