Hi Efe,
As Norm said, those shops are very popular - dozens of shoppers can request each one within hours of it being posted, so as Tara said - usually the earlier you request it (and for the soonest date) the better chance you'll get it.
Stay persistent, and best of luck!
Hello Kristina,
Here is how the system works:
-Once you log into iSecretShop, go to the "Available Shops" page, and browse the shops that are posted.
-When you see the one you are interested in, you click "View Details" and it will open a pop-up window with all the information on the shop.
-Then, you can either self-assign that shop, or click "Request shop" to submit a request for a specific date. The schedulers are frequently reviewing these requests, so it should be approved soon.
*If you are prompted to sign the iSecretShop Terms of Use or the Mystery Shopping Provider's contract first, you can do so on the "Provider Contracts and Policies" page.
*If you are prompted to enter your PayPal email address, you may do so on the "Update Extended Profile" page.
-Once you have a shop assigned to you, you can always view it on the "Assigned Shops" page - there you can see all shops you have assigned, and can click "Complete Shop" on any of them to see the full shop information, the shop instructions, the questions, or/and fill out the shop report.
-If you have any questions about a particular shop, you can always contact the MSP that posted it, and their schedulers/editors will be happy to help.
-When you are done filling out the shop report - you click "Finalize Shop" to submit it - it will be reviewed to editors and either approved, or returned to you for additional information (if so, it will appear back in your "Assigned Shops" page).
-After the shop is approved, you can communicate with the MSP regarding your payment for that shop.
I also advise going to iSSprep.com and doing courses like "iSS 101" and "iSS 102" - these will not only provide you with additional knowledge, but will also grant you shopper points, boosting your rank rather quickly.
I hope this helps!
Hi Angie,
The exam is not glitched - it works fine and multiple shoppers pass it every day. The exams themselves are designed to provide knowledge through trial and error - if you fail it, go back and revise some answers you weren't sure about. If after a few attempts you still have difficulty passing, you can always open a support ticket to iSecretShop, and you would be informed of exactly which answers you should revise to pass the exam.
I hope this helps :)
Hi Kenep,
To update your PayPal email address on iSecretShop, simply log in to iSecretShop (website, app or mobile site), click Extended Profile. Once in, scroll until you see the field called "PayPal Email," enter the correct information and Save. Please note that PayPal.me links are not acceptable there - only the actual email address which you use to login to your PayPal account.
I hope this helps!
Thank you for letting us know Carita! And it was very prudent of you to ask them to verify the order!
