Arizona has a 2.5% flat income tax. Flat 2.5% income tax (lowest in nation for flat-tax states). Transaction Privilege Tax (sales tax equivalent) varies by city. Phoenix TPT is 8.6%.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it payment tracking, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most pet clothing makers in Chandler piece together Acuity Scheduling, Square, Vagaro, Wave and similar apps. That's $636/year on recurring software. Over 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,180.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single platform. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No manual re-entry. No Zapier. No add-on costs. It's a single payment — stop overpaying right away. For pet clothing makers in Chandler weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
At 9 I'm cutting fabric for today's orders: three custom-fit winter coats for a Bernedoodle and two Greyhound jackets. The Bernedoodle's owner sent chest girth, neck, and back length from collar to tail, but the photo shows a deep chest, so I adjust the pattern and add ease there before I cut the waterproof shell, the fleece lining and the Velcro belly band. Greyhounds need their own pattern entirely, a long back, deep keel and narrow waist, and a Frenchie pattern would be useless for them. By noon I'm serging seams, topstitching, binding the edges and attaching the leash hole and hardware, then trying the sample on my own dog to check that the legs have room to move. At 2 I do a quick photo shoot with her modeling the new design by the window for the Etsy listing. At 4 I pack eight USPS Priority orders, weigh them and print labels, and I notice two listings priced before the fabric went up, so the margin on custom one-offs is thinner than I thought after listing, transaction and payment fees. At 6 the Etsy messages come in, including a custom sizing question from someone who measured the neck around the collar, so I send my measuring guide again with a diagram. At 8 I reorder waterproof shell fabric because the bolt is cheaper this week, and I write out tomorrow's cut list.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a pet clothing maker's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a pet clothing maker — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
