Frequently Asked Questions

Can multiple staff members use Nu Stack at one shop?

Yes. Every employee creates their own free account and uses the same calculator. Plans are per-account: Free covers the calculator, and saving buys starts with Basic ($1.99/mo). Many shops run one Business or Pro account at the counter.

Does Nu Stack store seller IDs or comply with state buy-record laws?

Nu Stack captures seller name, contact, photo, and signature on each transaction. The Business plan ($39/mo) adds seller ID records, hold periods, and compliance and period reports. Legal hold-period and ID-reporting requirements vary by state, so check your local rules: Nu Stack keeps the records, it isn't legal advice.

Can I export my buy records for accounting?

Yes. Holdings export to CSV from the Holdings view (Basic and up). Stacker adds bulk import for migrating legacy data, and the Business plan adds a QuickBooks export.

Is there a plan for shops?

Yes. Business ($39/mo) is for pawn shops, scrap buyers and dealers: everything in Pro plus business tools (seller ID records and hold periods, QuickBooks export, compliance and period reports). Founding Members: the first 20 shops get the business tools at the Pro price ($9.99/mo).

Is there an offline mode for spotty shop Wi-Fi?

Calculator math runs locally; spot prices need a network refresh every 60 seconds, but the last fetched price stays available offline.
