Otherwise you can use "adaptive" payment plugins or manual payment methods ("collect on delivery"). There is no best practice. When a customer already have a vendor product in his cart, he cannot add products of other vendors. The product addition will be cancel and he will get a notice message. In order to avoid the customer to perform unwanted action, you can organize your shop by vendors ; so when the customer enter a vendor section, he will know that he can buy all the products from the same vendor.
