How do I start the process?

You go here and begin the process by providing us with some of your information, and confirming your agreement to the simple contractor agreement.

You get paid for each report you complete and approved by the client. Mystery Shopping is realistically only able to supplement a person's income. The availability of work can be very changeable.

The payment vary from assignment to assignment, but it is always informed in advance. We will also inform you of any reimbursements against purchases or services availed during the audit.

What is the process for being paid?

The payment will be transferred in the beginning of the third month from the assignment date. For example., assignments done in April will be paid in the beginning of July. Our automated system will email you as soon as your payment is processed. The mode of payment includes online bank transfers.

Why am I asked to give personal information, and if I provide it, what is this used for?

We ask for shoppers to provide as much relevant personal information as they are willing to provide when they register. This is stored securely in our server. It is not shared by us with any other organization and clients have no access to your information.

We ask for the information purely and simply to help us to offer you the most suitable assignments.

Will this become my “job”, and what about tax and insurance?

It is a freelance or part time work, where you are given a time frame to conduct the audits and submit the report. A mystery shopper is not an employee of SISA Marketing. It is up to you to accept or reject an assignment. However once you have been approved to do the audit, ensure that you perform it with dedication and submit it within the given timelines.

Mystery Shopping is an activity that is carried out on a self-employed basis.

How much time does it take to complete a mystery evaluation?

The Mystery evaluation usually takes about 30-45 minutes depending upon the audit. However, you should ensure you have enough time before your visit to read the assignment guidelines carefully and instructions to familiarize yourself with the assignment.

How will I know if my report has been accepted?

Our automated system will email you whenever we submit the reports to the client. This is done after quality analysis, proof-reading, fraud checking and other policies we have in place. You may be contacted for any omissions or corrections in your report if needed.

I don’t see any opportunities listed in the assignments tab?
