Winsale - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

WinSale is a point of sale, major account invoicing and eCommerce platform built specifically for footwear and safetywear retailers. Made by Magnum Software Systems (founded 1984), it is used by independent shoe stores, Red Wing dealers, work boot retailers and safetywear shops across the United States, from Alaska to Florida.

Generic retail POS systems treat every shoe size as a separate product and push employer billing into QuickBooks and spreadsheets. WinSale handles both natively, in one database.
