Joomla 2.5 has reached its end of life as for 12/31/2014. Please be advised this may be a security risk to your website. You can view more information about the end of life here.
During our testing of VirtueMart, when we added our first product we entered the price under the assumption it would be listed using the American Dollar format. As you can see from the screenshot below, VirtueMart for Joomla 2.5 is setup by default to use the Euro instead of the American Dollar.
If your primary customers will not be using the Euro, for customer usability purposes you’ll want to adjust the default currency of your VirtueMart store. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to change your store’s default currency.
To configure the default currency in VirtueMart:
- Log into your Joomla Dashboard
- In the top menu, hover over Components and click VirtueMart
- Click the Shop icon
- There are three tabs listed: Vendor, Additional Information, and General User Information. Ensure you are under the Vendor tab by clicking Vendor.
- Towards the right of the page, you will see a heading labeled Currency, and under that another option that says Currency. Using the drop down menu next to Currency, select your default currency. In our example, we selected United States dollar.
- In the top right menu, click Save. When you visit your VirtueMart store, you will now see the currency listed as the currency you selected!

Hello emmanuel,
Did you follow our instructions for how to install VirtueMart?
If you are sure that VirtueMart is installed correctly, like AndreaLolli has mentioned a few comments above yours, you need to make sure to set your client is set as a vendor on the Orders & Shoppers tab before the Vendor tab is displayed.

Be sure that you are within the Shop menu item. If you still do not see it, you may not have VirtueMart installed properly and you may need to reinstall it.
