Keep Nexway, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Nexway you would be making selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 50 other tools for selling digital products grade higher.
What you could make
- Invoicing: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Selling as the merchant of record, so sales tax and VAT are handled everywhere.
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- Every click and sale traced back to the right partner.
- An API that other software can build on.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Nexway’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
