So there's nowhere to put a description to sit above all four categories on my category listing page. I could probably fix this with the 'modules anywhere' plugin but I wonder if there's a neater Hika Shop solution?

That way, you can put your description in that main category. If you directly use the Root category as the main category, that's problematic as you're not supposed to be able to use it nor edit it. You can edit it via phpmyadmin in the hikashop_category table and add your description in there. But I suppose that it will be nicer with a modules anywhere.

I always make the mistake of clicking on a category link rather than using checkbox/edit, so I had to go up to 'root' which I've never done before. Once I've built my new store I'll make sure my client pays for a pro licence.
