I am opening a vendor base business with 20 plus vendors. How do you set up each vendor to track and set up there booth number when the are being checked out by a customer and how do you add multiple vendor sales on 1 ticket

I'm assuming by vendors you mean it will be like a flea market where multiple people are selling multiple items?

If you have Square for Retail you can assign each item to a vendor and then pull reports based on sales per vendor. You wouldn't have to do anything at checkout because each item would be tied to the vendor.

Alternatively you can also use Categories as the "Vendor" in order to track sales per vendor.

I'm assuming it's one cash register or Square Register you're using to checkout each customer?

Yes similar. I am using square now for my salon for appointments and to take cards. I am used to using it for me but not with multiple vendors. Will I have to upgrade to use it this way?

Is square retail different from the square app to take payments

Yes, Square for Retail offers a more robust experience tailored to retailers and vendor-based businesses @Jerrystattic. I do recommend you give it a try if you haven't done so yet.
