What are the requirements to be a mystery shopper provider?

Previous experience is not required.
We are looking for reliable, detail-oriented shoppers with exceptional written communication skills.
Access to a computer is required as all shop reports are submitted online.
Access to either a digital camera or a scanner is also necessary for submitting the required proof of shop, which is typically a receipt or business card.
All assignments are due by noon Central Time the day after you assigned the shop date, unless the instructions state otherwise.
The minimum age to register is eighteen years old.

Am I applying to work for your company?

You are not applying to be an employee of the company. There is no employee-employer relationship.
You are an independent contractor with the option to accept or reject individual shopping assignments on a case-by-case basis.

Do I have to pay any fees to become a shopper?

Secret Shopper does not and has never charged anyone to become a shopper.
Some shops do require shoppers to make a purchase during the shop. Payment for each shop is clearly listed with the shop assignment, and purchases are either reimbursed or already calculated into the shop payment.
If you were charged any amount for registering as a shopper, please check your financial statement for the correct name of the company.

Do you need shoppers in the area where I live?

Demand for shoppers changes on a regular basis. After being accepted as a shopper, you will have access to view all shops available in your area.
If your area does not show any available shops, it may be because you do not meet certain demographic requirements, they were taken by other shoppers, or no shops many exist in your area at this time.
Clients are added on a regular basis, so you will want to check the site frequently for new shops.

Can I also shop or work for other companies?

Most of the shoppers with whom we contract do secret shopping part-time while working on other projects (including performing shops for other mystery shopping companies).
We do require that you do not accept a mystery shopping assignment for a company where you or a family member are currently working or have previously worked.
For more information, please see our Ethics Policy.

How much do you pay?

Each shopping assignment has different arrangements.
The normal range of payments is $15 - $25.
For some shops, such as a restaurant, the payment may be to pay you for the cost of a meal for two.
The payment information for each unique situation is explained before you agree to do the shop.
