We will never ask you to pay to sign up for a Mystery Shop.

We pay and/or reimburse you for completing assignments as per our instructions.

Mystery Shoppers or Secret Shoppers should never have to pay any mystery shopping company.

We review all applications and accept shoppers based on the information provided. This is why it’s imperative to carefully read the questions on the application before replying. All applicants must pass our Certification Program before they can apply for or complete any open opportunities.

Some jobs may specify a demographic they are looking for, in this case, a shopper must meet the criteria to apply.

Paypal© is an online service that allows the transferring of payments through a secure website. We pay via Paypal, and the service will notify you when the money has been sent.

For those who do not have a PayPal account, PayPal will give you the steps to open one. Creating an account is easy and free. Once a job is completed you can transfer the money directly to your bank account.

Please make sure you sign up for PayPal with the same email address as registered with Shoppers Confidential. We issue payment on the 15th day of the following month. If you complete a job on May 28th, we pay June 15th.

This depends on the assignment, and how much effort is involved in completing the shop. Typically, shoppers receive payments of $15-$50 per assignment, plus any expenses noted in the assignment to be incurred are reimbursed. Other shops may ‘pay’ in reimbursements, such as free bowling, or a cruise vacation.

We pay our shoppers on the 15th of the following month and the last day of the month in which shops were successfully completed (or the next business day).

There is at least a 14-day buffer between your approved submission and your payment. 

For example, shops submitted and approved between the 1st and the 15th will be paid on the last day of the month (or the next business day).  Shops submitted and approved between the 16th and the last day of the month will be paid on the 15th of the following month (or the next business day). 

You can visit our Pay Policy Page for more details.

Emails are received notifying you of shops available in your area. It is recommended to regularly check the Shoppers area of our website to manually search for assignments.

You will be notified via email if you have been awarded the shop. Please do not proceed and complete an assignment until you have received a confirmation email.

• Complete shops within the specified date(s) and timeframe.
• Follow through on all scenarios provided in your instructions.
• Submit truthful information and details.
• Submit all required attachments, photos and documents as required.
• Get the employee's name who assisted you, or your shop will not be valid.

All shop results must be submitted online within 12 hours of completing the shop, or you will not be paid.
