Is it possible to list vendors by vendor category

-- HikaShop version -- : 4.2.3
-- HikaMarket version -- : 3.0.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.9.16

I made a fresh install of hikamarket,
I created vendors categories
I must do something wrong, I can't just list vendors from one category vendors.
Can you give me a clue ?

Ok thanks for your answer.
It would be great to be able to categorize vendors easily.

This has been a feature that I've been waiting for and I think it would be a great asset to HikaMarket.

Here is an example of how we would benefit:

Example:
-- Vendor Category 1 (example: Schools)
---- School 1
---- School 2
-- Vendor Category 2 (example: Churches)
---- Church 1
---- Church 2
-- Vendor Category 2 (example: Other Non-Profit)
---- Other Non-Profit 1
---- Other Non-Profit 2

My website is setup a little different than a typical marketplace site. I have two types of products listed on my website.
1) Vendor-specific products
2) Products that do not have a specific vendor and the customer gets to select who a portion of that sale is going to.

The reason why it is setup this way is because I'm starting to work with non-profit organizations who I'm going to donate a portion of each product to. If the product is, for example, geared towards religion or church, a customer can select which church (vendor category 2 above) will get a portion of the sale of that product. If the product is geared towards education, a customer can select which school (vendor category 1 above) will get a portion of the sale of that product. I want the customer to have the ability to give to multiple organizations when they purchase from me, but I don't want them to be able to select just any one of the vendors. I want them to have to select a vendor from the category that pertains to that type of product.

In addition to this, if I make a product specifically for a certain vendor (let's say a school), I can list their product on my website and they automatically get a portion of that sale since it's their product. If a person purchased that specific product and an additional product, they would be able to select the vendor for the second product. This way they could have two different vendors in the cart. I'm currently trying to get my site to at least do that, so I may have a few questions that I'll start a new thread on if I get to that point.

I have already setup a new vendor group and given them ACL options. What my end goal is to have the customer select which vendor will get a portion of the sale of that product via a Vendor Selector. My problem is that the Vendor Selector displays ALL vendors. I only want it to display some. There is no way (to my knowledge) to allow a customer (guest or registered) to select a vendor using the Vendor Selector that is from a specific Joomla Group either. My concern is how a customer can select from a certain type of Vendor, not how the products and categories for a vendor are displayed.

I have products that are to be sold by a specific vendor AND I have products that I want the customer to select which vendor a portion of that sale will go to (by an Item characteristic Vendor Selector). Any mix of these could be in a customers cart. I want to see a way that we can filter them so that only certain vendors are displayed on certain non-vendor-specific products.

One thing that I thought of was if we can't categorize them to limit the display in the Vendor Selector, I would like to be able to filter them. I created a Vendor (table) custom field where a vendor can select an account type (business, school, sports team, etc). This way when they register, I know how to classify them. I am curious if I could somehow filter the Vendor Selector to show only vendors of a certain Vendor custom field? This way only vendors with a specific custom field would be displayed in the Vendor Selector?

I believe I didn't understand what a vendor category was ...
I'll get what I want with a custom module i'm finishing ....

Thanks for your quick reply !
