A VirtueMart template decides how your whole shop looks: the home page, category pages, product pages, the cart and the checkout. This guide covers what to check before you choose one, why VirtueMart shops stay on Joomla 5 in 2026, and our current templates grouped by the kind of shop they suit.
The short answer
VirtueMart 4 runs on Joomla 5, so a VirtueMart shop in 2026 should be built on Joomla 5. All 68 of our templates are built for Joomla 5 and VirtueMart 4.8. Each one was re-released between 19 October and 4 November 2026, and each one comes with a quickstart package.
Below, the templates are grouped by the kind of shop their demo is set up for. Any of them can sell any product. The demo just shows you one way to set it up. In each group we name two to start with, and say why.
Joomla 5 or Joomla 6 for a VirtueMart shop?
Joomla 5. VirtueMart 4, the current release, runs on Joomla 4 and Joomla 5. It does not run on Joomla 6. VirtueMart 5, which is being built for Joomla 6, has no release date yet. So there is no working VirtueMart template for Joomla 6 today, from us or anyone else. For the details, and to get an email when VirtueMart 5 is out, read VirtueMart and Joomla 6: what store owners need to know.
What to check before you choose a VirtueMart template
- Click through the whole shop on the live demo. Open a category, a product, the cart and the checkout, not just the home page.
- Try it on your phone. Add a product to the cart on your own phone and go as far as the checkout page.
- Check the versions. You should be able to see which Joomla, VirtueMart and PHP versions a template is built for. Ours are all listed on the template compatibility table.
- Look for a quickstart package. A quickstart installs Joomla, VirtueMart, the template and the demo store together, so you start from the demo instead of an empty site.
- Look for recent updates. A changelog with recent releases tells you the template is still looked after. Each of our templates has its own changelog page.
- Check Free or Pro VirtueMart. Some templates need a paid VirtueMart edition. Ours work with the free VirtueMart or with VirtueMart Pro.
- Know what the price includes. Find out how long you get updates and support, and whether the template keeps working when that ends.
What every template on this page includes
- The template package for Joomla 5 (Bootstrap 5, PHP 8.3 or later).
- A quickstart package that installs Joomla 5.4, VirtueMart 4.8, the template and the demo store in one go.
- Documentation and a changelog for each template.
- Works with the free VirtueMart or VirtueMart Pro.
- A full live demo you can click through before you buy.
Price: €44 per template, a one-time payment that includes 3 months of downloads, updates and support. The template keeps working after that. Want them all? The All Templates Club is €299 for the first year and €99 a year to renew. See all plans and prices.

Questions
Which template is best for a small shop?
Pick the demo that looks closest to your shop and feels easy to move around on your phone. Every template here has the same Joomla 5 base, the same quickstart and the same price, so the choice is about the look.
Do I need VirtueMart Pro?
No. Our templates work with the free VirtueMart and with VirtueMart Pro.
Can I change the colours and logo?
Yes. Most templates come with several colour styles, and every template has its settings in the Joomla administrator. The documentation for each template shows where everything is.
Will these templates work on Joomla 6?
Not yet, because VirtueMart itself does not run on Joomla 6 yet. Read VirtueMart and Joomla 6 for what that means for your shop.
See every template on the VirtueMart templates home page, or compare exact versions on the compatibility table. Need help choosing? Ask us.
