Whether you’d like to work mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekdays or weekends, the choice is yours. There’s also no requirement as to how many tasks you need to complete per month, so you can choose as many or as little as you’d like. No matter how busy your schedule, mystery shopping can work around it.

We don’t require you to have any specific qualifications. Instead, you’ll just need basic digital skills and a good understanding of the English language.
If you want to become a successful mystery shopper, there are a few skills that will help you along the way:
Reliability — as a mystery shopper, you’ll need to be honest and reliable. It’s so important that the feedback you provide is accurate and entirely honest. Plus, we’ll be relying on you to stick to the task deadlines and provide answers to the feedback questions within 12 hours of completing the assignment.
Good written and verbal communication — it’s essential to have good communication skills to help you provide the most insightful feedback. Not only will you use written communication skills, you’ll also need to verbally communicate with staff members at the establishments you visit.
An eye for detail — the more details you can provide, the more your feedback will help the establishments you visit. Customer service, cleanliness of the environment, adherence to company policies, product appearance — there’s lots to look out for and report back on.
