Hello,
The HikaMarket setting "Usergroup on registration" is regarding the usage of the HikaMarket registration page which allow to create a Joomla account and an HikaMarket vendor account in the same time.

If you want to change the Joomla account groups depending the status of the vendor ; you can use the Joomla plugin "HikaMarket vendor user group" which has been created for that purpose.
