(with ajax) . must change some code in hikashop or not?")* Hello, There is no ajax in the HikaMarket registration ; so what you want to implement is a complete new feature with some javascript and a function which will allow to check if a vendor name is available or not. For sure with some development it is possible, but it will require more work than just using the trigger (and the usage of that trigger will be required either way).
