Taking payments is an essential part of running any workspace. However, without having the process integrated with your workspace management software it can quickly become an overly complex and time-consuming task.
Thankfully, there are lots of different integrations out there that streamline and simplify this entire process, and will automatically update all of your records directly in your workspace management software. This means you can spend more time focussing on other aspects of your workspace.
So, without further ado, let’s take a look at five of the best tools you can use to take payments in your coworking or flex workspace.
The first payment integration we are going to discuss is Stripe. One of the major benefits of Strips is how it is able to scale alongside your workspace. Regardless of if you are running a single, small workspace, or a larger network of spaces, the Stripe integration will scale up along with your coworking or flex space network. In the same vein, Stripe supports over 135 different currencies and dozens of different payment methods, meaning even if your network of workspace stretches across the globe, you can stick with one, singular payment gateway.
GoCardless is a fantastic solution for taking payments for your customers’ invoices via Direct Debit transactions. Once a member provides valid payment details, payment will be taken automatically once invoices are raised in Nexudus.
GoCardless’ seamless integration with Nexudus means that invoices in the Nexudus Admin panel will automatically be marked as paid as soon the payment has been taken. This makes it even easier for you to keep track of your space’s finances, especially when used in conjunction with the reporting tools, such as Nexudus Explore.
For in-person payments for all manner of things, you can’t get a whole lot better than Square PoS. It is quick and easy for workspace operators to transfer products and resources from Nexudus into your Square account. As soon as payment is taken all data will be seamlessly uploaded to Nexudus, making sure all your records are in sync and up to date.
One of the best things about Square PoS is its ease of use. Its simple and intuitive UX makes it easy for all your team members to get used to the system and minimises the possibility of errors. For those spaces running or looking to start using NexKiosk, Square POS is the perfect companion, as it can be easily connected to the NexKiosk app, which we discuss below.
Now, PayPal won't be a new name for many of you, but this ubiquity is exactly what can make it such a powerful and easy to adopt method of taking payments in your space. Most people will already have a PayPal account, so will quickly be able to pay their invoices using the payment details they have already set up.
Another plus point of PayPal being such a well known and widely used payment gateway is that it supports an enormous range of currencies. This means, regardless of where your coworking or flex workspace is located, the chances are that PayPal will be able to process that currency.
As with all the other payment gateways we have discussed, paid invoices will automatically be marked as such in Nexudus, making life even easier for you and your team.
While not strictly being a payment gateway, NexKiosk is a fantastic way for your workspace to allow members to make purchases in your space with absolute ease and efficiency. The NexKiosk app also gives you the flexibility to enable your community to make purchases either autonomously or through a workspace operator. This is perfect if you run an ‘Honesty Bar’-type system for the sale of food and drink, for example.
Any product sold through the NexKiosk app is automatically updated to Nexudus. Depending on how you chose to operate the system, purchases will either be added directly to customer invoices or paid for on the spot through a card reader, if for example, you use NexKiosk in conjunction with an ePoS system such as Square PoS.
What’s more, is that NexKiosk can be run off any Android or iOS tablet. This makes it an extremely cost-effective way to sell products to your workspace users.
While we have gone through five of the most popular ways to take payments in your coworking or flex workspace, this is by no means an exhaustive list. Nexudus integrates with over one hundred different payment gateways, giving you the flexibility to opt for the system which suits you and your space best.
Whatever system you chose to integrate with, though, the benefit is that all purchases will automatically update the records in your workspace management software, ensuring that you can easily keep track of your finances and stock levels.

Meeting rooms are at the heart of collaboration in coworking spaces. Whether it's a brainstorming session, a client meeting, or a team catch-up, having a simple and efficient way to book and manage meeting rooms makes all the difference. But let’s be honest—there’s always room to improve the experience for your members.
The popularity of remote and hybrid working has prompted many organisations to rethink the way they utilise office space. Many have swapped their large, static HQs for more flexible satellite solutions that can accommodate a disparate workforce.
Now that 2025 has arrived, the European Union's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) initiative is becoming a key topic for coworking spaces operating in the EU. But don’t panic—ViDA will be introduced gradually, with key changes taking effect from 2028. This major VAT reform aims to modernize tax reporting, combat fraud, and streamline compliance through mandatory e-invoicing and real-time digital VAT reporting for certain transactions.
After more than twelve years in the coworking industry, we’ve seen the movement evolve at an incredible pace, especially in recent years. Spaces have grown larger, making it harder for operators to truly connect with their communities. At the same time, expectations for higher service standards and increasing competition mean that creating tailored experiences and fostering long-term member engagement is more important than ever.
There has always been a need for workplace management – the process of organising and optimising physical spaces, resources, and operations to support people’s needs. But, as 28% of UK working adults were reported to work in a hybrid capacity last autumn (by the Office for National Statistics), the question of ‘why workplace management matters’ is more critical than ever. Let’s look at the workplace management benefits for your operations.
From automating daily processes to supporting your team in building a thriving community and boosting revenue for your business – coworking technology couldn’t be more impactful for flexible workspace operations. But with so many tools available, selecting the right tech stack for your coworking business can be overwhelming.
As the coworking industry continues to grow and evolve, so does the Nexudus platform. We always strive to develop new features and enhance existing ones to make your job easier. When new features are introduced, there is a need to learn how to best leverage them for your space.
When we first launched Nexudus, we were a small, tightly-knit team wearing multiple hats—from sales to implementation and customer support. In those early days, if a customer had a question, there was a good chance that the person answering it was also the one who had built that particular feature.
Coworking is becoming an increasingly competitive industry, making it more crucial than ever to make the right decisions. The key to success lies in having access to accurate and relevant information, which enables informed decision-making.
At the core of every thriving coworking space is its community. This has been true since the early days of the coworking movement, and it still holds today.
