Why This Matters for Sneaker Resellers

You hit on a Yeezy restock at 6am — copped 3 pairs at $230 each. By noon you've listed them on StockX at $380, GOAT at $390, and eBay at $385. One sells on StockX but after their 9% fee, shipping, and authentication fee, your $380 sale nets $328. Did you profit? Your spreadsheet has 200 rows and you lost track of which pairs came from which drop. Tax time is a nightmare.

Sneaker Resellers face unique challenges: Tracking cost basis across dozens of platforms and drops. Calculating true profit after platform fees, shipping, and authentication. Managing inventory across StockX, GOAT, eBay simultaneously. Quarterly estimated taxes with wildly variable monthly income. On top of all that, Square charges $29/month ($348/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median sneaker reseller earns $38,000/year. Software at $348/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Authentication tools (UV light, CheckCheck app) 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 sneaker 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.
