How would I categorize booth vendors in my store who pay me a monthly fee to rent booth space and 10% of their sales?

Hello,

There are a couple ways you could track this.  One of the most basic and simple ways would be to track the booth rental payments into an Income account called "Booth Rental Income" and the commissions into an Income account called "Commissions Income"

In QBO, would you treat the booth vendors as customers or vendors?  And how do you receive payment, QBO only offers payment for hours and services.

I appreciate you for joining the thread, @3146782.

You need to treat the booth vendors as your customers since their paying you for their rent expenses. Here's how you can add customers' names in QuickBooks Online (QBO).

1. Sign in to your QBO account.
2. Click on Sales at the left pane, then select Customers.
3. Tap New, then fill in the information.
4. Repeat the same steps for other booth vendors.

Once done, you're now ready to track the transactions you had with your booth vendors. For the payments, you can deposit the amount directly to an income account. 

1. Go to the +New icon, then click on Bank Deposit.
2. From the Add funds to this deposit section, select the income account used for tracking the rental income.
3. Add the amount, then fill in the rest of the details needed.
4. Save the transaction.

You can also learn more about deposits from this article: Record and make bank deposits in QuickBooks Online.

If you wish to review the entries recorded for your booth vendors, you can pull up the Transaction List by Customer report or any account listing report such as Transaction Detail by Account report.
