vender

One who sells

Vender is a less common spelling of vendor—someone who sells goods or services.

A street vender hawks wares from a cart; a vender at a market rents a stall.

The vendor spelling dominates in legal and business contexts: vendor agreement, vendor management.

Both spellings are correct, but vender appears old-fashioned to many readers.
