Why This Matters for Electronics Resellers

You bought a pallet of 50 returned electronics for $800. Half are sellable, 15 need repair, and 10 are junk. You need to allocate cost basis across items, track repair parts, and list on 3 platforms. An eBay buyer opens a return on a $120 monitor — that's your profit from 3 other sales gone. Your spreadsheet is 30 tabs and you dread tax season.

Electronics Resellers face unique challenges: Tracking cost basis on bulk lot purchases with mixed items. Returns and refunds eating into thin margins. Platform fee differences across eBay, Amazon, and Facebook Marketplace. Testing and grading used electronics takes time that's hard to bill for. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median electronics reseller earns $40,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Testing equipment (multimeter, monitor tester) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Square replacement for electronics resellers?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Square may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Square is $29/month — that's $1,168 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my Square data?

Export your data from Square as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
