What is the difference between a category and a badge? If I set up a category for a 20% off, do I need to have that item in both the 20% off category and 20% off badge to have the badge display? Lastly, I'm not finding how to actually get the discount to work for that item. I can only find how to get a site-wide 20% off discount to work. What is the best way to have a 20% off badge on a single item and have just that one item's price be discounted by 20% (and not the entire site)?

Usually, you just restrict the badge to your discount. That way the badge will apply automatically for all the products for which the discount applies. 2. When you edit the discount, you have on the right side area an option to select the categories for which you want the discount to apply to. Note that discount restrictions are only available with either the Essential edition or the Business edition of HikaShop so it might be why you got confused.
