Hi! I couldn`t find information about how to update template?
Is there any manual or something?
what issues should I expect?

I have two reason why I want update.
1. Promo codes is not working now.
2. There is no captcha at registration. ( virtue mart registration)

From template I just go to this page.

Hi,
update on this same Joomla version?
If yes, just re-install template with new version of template, of course make a copy of old template before.
Templates for Joomla are just a extensions, so all works this same.

VM was a good product, but most webmasters right now leave it for commercial products. But I'm not consultancy company to tell you more.

Of course you should update all products, but VM for J3.3 is not stable yet, and probably it will takes ages to be as stable as version for J2.5 was (is).

Currently, you have 3 options:
1) HikaShop
2) Solution which is similar to bridge for example MijoShop which was based on Opencart
3) make shop outside the cms, so you can use any platform you want. Not always you need connection with J!.
