Hi,
No, you won't loose anything in your products/categories/configuration.
We made HikaShop to be easy to update without loosing data. That's why you can override all views/css or elements which can be replaced during an update. The overrides are kept and assure you that your site will still be the same.

By the way, do not send me private message, use the "contact us" form instead.
