Hi,
The main thing in 2020 will be the compatibility with Joomla 4 of course.
The points that you note in your message and things that are high on our todo list. But it's not like these are the only ones.
Here what we have currently for our todo list (in no particular order) :
zapier
add tooltips for badge options
dev plugin to add a "return goods" button for orders on the frontend with a form to select the goods to return, which would add a link in a table and send a notification email the admin could reply to.
There are three tables needed hikashop_return (1 entry per return request), hikashop_return_message (1 entry per message) and hikashop_return_goods (1 entry per good selected).
We can have an option to credit the points to the customer, or give him a coupon or potentially trigger a refund.

Please remember that the filter system improvements we worked on this year was asked for years and we only got around to do it this year.
Similarily, before HikaShop 3, we had a lot of requests to improve the checkout and the address management.
And since the release of HikaShop 3 a few years back, we've kept on improving both of these little by little with the latest addition being the separation of shipping and billing addresses and the separator view in the checkout that were both done in 2019. I believe these areas are quite nice now.
The points 2/3/4 of your message are things we want to work on in the short term (hopefully next year). The last one, is something that could be more easily done now that we've done the ajax filtering. But it's not a high priority ( as not a lot of people requested it ).
