I joined up with this web site ages ago but haven't actually done a secret shop yet. I'v been offered a few in my area and want to do this now. I can't find any information on the website as to how it works or what is required of me and how do I relay the information to the business after I perform my secret shop. Also what kind of information are they looking for?

thanks

Hi Trista! That is a big question!

You can find the available opportunities on the app under available shops. The description of the shop will give you a good idea of what is to be evaluated. These are posted by Mystery Shopping Companies, and Market Research Companies (not iSecretShop - they are the software) You can then request the shop - some are easier to get than others. When you first start you might need to grab a few that aren't as 'fun' as some of the others - just to get experience.

Once one is assigned to you, it will appear in your assigned shops. You can then see the complete list of instructions there and answer the questions right in the app - it is pretty easy! You can ask the assigned scheduler questions about the shop OR you can put in a ticket with iSecretShop for questions about the app or how it works.

Happy Shopping!

Thanks for the info!!

Hi Trista,

Jennifer gave you all the info. It really is as simple as that. I have found as a shopper that the date range is extremely beneficial, as I have flexibility around my health. I know for a fact that any inquiries concerning a shop are answered rapidly. HAPPY SHOPPING!!!!!

I don't recommend starting with restaurant shops or shops that require you to lay out money, unless you are prepared to lose what you lay out for the meal if you botch the shop. I suggest the little bank shops. I enjoy the restaurant shops but I botch the up from time to time by forgetting a requirement (like failing to take a photo of the restroom).

It also helps to live in an area where there would be lots of opportunities to do shops. If your search area is a large metropolitan city, you are going to find more shops than out in a rural community.

You might end up having to drive a long distance to find shops.

It also helps to be signed up with many Mystery Shopping Providers. I am signed up with about 25+ MSPs.

Hello,

How can I sign up with many MSPs

Thanks Dora

So I pay out of my pocket. Then get reimbursed?

On the next friday?

Dora - you can sign the MSP agreements for all MSPs in the iSecretShop system on the "Provider Contracts and Policies" page on the iSecretShop website, or the "MSP Contracts" tab on the mobile app/mobile site. Whether you do this or not, you will have access to all MSP's shops that you can do on your Available Shops page.

Terri - Yes, the reimbursement and compensation fees are paid after the shop is successfully completed and approved by the editors. Each MSP has their own payment schedule and payment policy, so you would have to inquire with them about when can you expect the payment.

Cheers!
