Sound Familiar?

It's Wednesday and you have a wedding Saturday. You need to order 200 stems of ranunculus but your wholesaler's prices went up 15% this week. The bride's centerpiece budget is fixed — you need to swap stems without telling her the profit margin just disappeared. Meanwhile you have 6 everyday arrangements for walk-in orders and a funeral spray due by noon tomorrow. Your costs are tracked in a notebook, your orders in Square, and your event proposals in a Google Doc.

Why Florists Are Fed Up

"Great point-of-sale for retail but can't handle event proposals, multi-arrangement quotes, or wholesale cost tracking."
— Common florist complaint about Square
"Doesn't understand perishable inventory or cost-per-stem tracking. Flower math is different from regular retail math."
— Common florist complaint about QuickBooks

Your camera is yours. Your software should be too.

You own your Floral cooler (walk-in or reach-in). You bought it once. Why are you renting your invoicing?
$84/month. Every month. Forever. That's not a tool — that's a tax.

What You Get for $279

Professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus scheduling, CRM, task management, and a full QuickBooks-style accounting suite. All connected. All yours. Forever.

What This Means for Florists

The average florist pays Square ($29/mo), QuickBooks ($55/mo) — a total of $84/month or $1,008 per year. With SaaS prices rising 11.4% annually (five times general inflation), that stack will cost $3,382 over three years and $6,328 over five. Nexa replaces all of it for $279, paid once. You break even in 3.3 months. After that, every dollar your competitors spend on subscriptions is money you keep. At median florist earnings, $1,008/year in software represents 64 hours of work — time spent earning money just to hand it to SaaS companies for tools you never own.

Invoice from the truck: the 90-second close

Finish the job, tap the saved service, add any extras, send. The customer pays from the link before you've left the driveway. The longer an invoice sits, the lower the odds it's paid in full — speed is the collection strategy.

FAQ

Is Nexa actually built for florists?

Yes. The invoicing module is designed for florists who need to professional invoicing with payment tracking, reminders, and automated follow-ups. Plus you get scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting — tools most florists end up needing anyway. $279 total for everything.

$279 seems expensive upfront. Is it worth it?

$279 spread over 3 years is $7.75/month. You're currently paying $84/month for Square + QuickBooks — that's $3,382 over 3 years. Nexa saves you $3,103 over that period. The math isn't close.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund, no questions. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I switch from Square?

Yes. Export your data as CSV, import into Nexa. Most florists are fully switched in 1-2 days. Run both in parallel until you're confident — zero risk.

How does Nexa compare to what other florists spend?

The median florist earns $33,000/year. Software subscriptions at $1,008/year represent 3.1% of that income — every single year. Nexa at $279 once is 0.85% of annual income, paid one time. The difference compounds every year you operate.

Why One App Beats Three Subscriptions

Most florists cobble together 3-5 separate apps — one for scheduling, one for invoicing, one for bookkeeping, maybe another for client management. Each one charges monthly. None of them talk to each other. So you end up copying client info between apps, manually reconciling invoices with your books, and losing track of details that fall through the cracks.

For the way a florist actually works, Nexa keeps one record instead of five logins. You finish the job and the invoice generates from that same record — no retyping into a second app between calls. The hours feed your P&L automatically, a client who books online lands in your CRM with their history, and the Floral cooler (walk-in or reach-in) you bought once is finally matched by software you buy once. The "perishable inventory — flowers die if you overbuy" problem goes away. No Zapier, no CSV exports. $279 once — or $99 today and two more — and the whole integrated system is yours, break-even in 3.3 months. 30-day money-back guarantee. And because there's nothing to renew, a florist who switches keeps paying $0/month while competitors keep paying $84/month — that gap compounds every year you own it.
