Do you have any suggestions?")* Hi, Note that Hikashop is a Joomla component, so I didn't fully understood your question, what do you really want to do ? Because If you don't want Hikashop to use some tables you'll have to directly edit the code to do that. Also note that If your have your products and categories on some tables, you'll still be able to import them by using a CSV file for example.

I want hikashop and the application that I use now to have common stock.

The solution instead would be to synchronize periodically the stock of the product in the HikaShop/Joomla database with your web application.
