VM Order List is a Joomla component that will produce a CSV or TXT file and automatically email it to multiple email addresses. The export file contains a configurable set of order information from your Virtuemart store. The CSV or TXT file can be produced on demand or scheduled using a cron job. VM Order List was originally developed to send shipping and order detail information to fulfillment houses, but can be used for many other purposes.

Virtuemart is an excellent shopping cart system. Combined with the power of Joomla, fantastic eCommece sites can be created on a budget affordable to most businesses. Virtuemart, however, has had one drawback - coupons. You could set up coupons to give customers an incentive to buy. However, you could not limit those coupons to a certain product. Nor could you require a minimum purchase for the coupon to be used. And you couldn't put an expiration date on the coupon, either. In short, you had a coupon function in Virtuemart, just not one most stores could actually use.
