Full description

Join the 700,000+ individuals who have become a secret shopper (AKA an Observer). Getting started is simple! You just head to stores, snap some photos, and answer a couple of questions. Every now and then, you'll also speak to a store associate. That's it! Observa is a fun, fast, and easy way to make PayPal money. Gigs pay between 6 and 25 dollars, and you'll usually get paid within 5 days. A side hustle as a mystery shopper is a great way to earn money for dinner dates, movie nights, and other special occasions! 💸 FAST FACTS Observa has paid out $500,000+ to Observers. Secret shopper gigs take 30 minutes on average. You'll be notified when there are new opportunities to earn money near you. Opportunities to make PayPal money are available in the United States and Canada. You'll usually get paid within 5 days. Please note: this process may take longer over weekends and holidays. Mystery shopper gigs pay $6-25. ❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Is this a legit way to make PayPal money? Yes! Observa has been in business since 2016. Today, we work with leading brands like KIND and Beyond Meat. Observers complete opportunities at well-known retailers like Safeway, 7-Eleven, and Walmart. Do you have opportunities outside of the United States and Canada? Right now, the vast majority of our opportunities are currently in the United States and Canada. Observa is always working to get additional clients, in order to provide more opportunities for you to earn money as a secret shopper. If you turn your notifications on, you'll be notified when there are new opportunities to make PayPal money near you. In the meantime, check out our paid photo challenges, which run every few weeks and can be completed from anywhere. If Observa rejects an observation, is the data still sent to the customer? Never. At Observa, we only want to pass along high-quality data to our customers, so we discard data from rejected observations. We only reject an observation if the secret shopper didn't follow the instructions correctly. Right now, more than 90% of observations are accepted. 📰 PRESS Observa has been featured in Mystery Shopper Forum, Gotta Be Mobile, GeekWire, and more.
