Show Products that are out of
Stock?
Let's you decide wether Products that are out of Stock are
displayed or hidden (only available when Check Stock is
enabled).
Enable the Cookie Check? If enabled, VirtueMart checks wether the browser of the
customer accepts cookies or not. This is user-friendly, but
it can have negative consequences on the Search-Engine-
Friendlyness of your shop.
Currency Converter Module This allows you to select a certain currency converter module.
Such modules fetch exchange rates from a server and convert
one currency into another.
Order-mail format: This determines how your order confirmation emails are set up:
• as a simple text email
• or as a html email with images.
DEBUG ? Turns on the debug output. This causes the DEBUGPAGE to be
displayed at the bottom of each VirtueMart page. Very helpful
during shop development since it shows the carts contents, form
field values, etc.

SECUREURL Example: https://www.mydomain.com
The secure URL to your site. (https - with trailing slash at the
end!)
Caution
Be careful what you fill in here - if the address doesn't
exist, customers would be redirected to a non-existing
location and receive a 404 error!
Shop Areas which must use https Some of the areas of your shop can be forced to use
the SECUREURL connection. Here you can choose the
modules which must use this SECUREURL. By default this
is: "account" (Account Maintenance) and "checkout" (the
complete Checkout).
Generally prevent secure
connections?
When checked, the shopper is redirected to the normal URL
when not browsing in those shop areas, which are forced to use
the SECUREURL.
Encryption Key The secret key for encrypting payment account data like credit
card numbers and storing them encrypted in the database.
Store Credit Card Information? Allows to completely disable the storage of Credit Card data.
Allow Frontend-Administration... ...for non-Backend Users?
With this setting you can enable the Frontend Administration
for users who are storeadmins, but can't access the Mambo
Backend (e.g. Registered / Editor).
Table Prefix for VirtueMart Tables This is an experimental feature to allow multiple shops in one
Joomla! installation.
