Hi,
For your HikaMarket questions ; the best is to use the HikaMarket section of the forum.
HikaMarket have features like "vendor categories" and also have plugins to automatically set the "vendor category" on products.
It is not related to the manufacturer (brand), only the product categories. So it will require a custom plugin if you want to affect the product manufacturer. But the vendor cartegory can be already created.
