I looked into dictionaries and word vender exists in Cambridge Dictionary:
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/vender

Also some details about this word are available in Wiktionary:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/vender#English

And looking at more internet resources and discussions, it looks like
that word vender is just older spelling in American English.

But I really do not know, I'm not native speaker.
