Any help here would be awesome")* Hi, You should create a module of the type hikashop module and then configure it to display categories in its hikashop options. Also, turn off the 'content synchronize" option on that same page so that the categories do not "disappear" when you click on one of them (otherwise, it actually tries to display the sub categories of the current category). That's all there is to it. It should then work like you need. That's what is explained on that tutorial: [ www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentatio...ml#categories\_module](http://www.hikashop.com/en/support/documentation/67-hikashop-content-display-front-end.html#categories_module) For the documentation of each options of any screen in HikaShop, you can click on the help icon at the top right corner to find directly the corresponding help.
