After a shop is approved. It still needs to be looked at by a variety of people before payment is made. The Mystery Shop Provider sends it to the client and, if the client has any questions, it can still be sent back to the shopper for updates. It can take some time for the report to get the final OK for payment. Also, most MSP's state "within" X amount of days. They usually have a payment calendar. Twice a month or whatever they choose.
Hello. iSecretShop is the software platform and opportunities board. The shops are the responsibility of the clients, the Mystery Shopping Providers you are working with. So, if you had a bad experience with one shop, there are many others that you can try our, and from different companies.
You can send a request through the ticket system if you want to be deleted.
The best advice I can give about handling taxes is to contact a tax professional and/or the IRS Customer Service Line.
Hello. If you are not seeing any shops, it's likely that they have all been assigned. However, new opportunities appear all the time and can get snapped up fast, so please check back often. And if you are using the iSecretShop smartphone app, please make sure you allow Push Notifications/Alerts so that the app can notify you the instant any new ones appear.
There are various restaurant shops. I have seen breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night.
The amount of shops fluctuates. Try not to get discouraged. New shops are added all the time. There are also phone and web shops available.
