How to become a "Mystery Shopper," a great way to make ends meet while having fun?

Do you enjoy observing details, giving your opinion, and playing undercover investigator? Good news: you can get paid for it. Becoming a mystery shopper allows you to earn a little money, or treat yourself, while testing out shops, restaurants, or even dream vacations.

The principle is simple: you play as an average customer, without revealing your mission, but you observe everything: How long before a salesperson comes to see you? Is the store clean? Is the advice relevant?

At the end, you complete an observation sheet and write a report. These evaluations allow brands to improve the quality of their welcome and services. No need to be James Bond: no stunts, just a little discretion and an eye for detail.

There are several platforms for becoming a mystery shopper. Here are the main ones:

• Qualimétrie : This site recruits “quality clients.” The most dedicated can earn up to €800 per month, but at this level, it becomes almost a full-time job.
• Devenirclientmystere.com : missions often allow you to earn vouchers rather than money.
• Be My Eye : A very popular app. You accept assignments in stores near you: check prices, photograph a section, or ask a salesperson a question.

Missions are paid between €3 and €15, depending on the time and difficulty. The more you complete, the more you unlock higher-paying missions.

Some missions also allow you to test restaurants or leisure activities. On My Opinion App, you can become a mystery shopper in a restaurant. You don't receive a salary, but you are reimbursed for your meal up to the limit set before the mission. And for travel enthusiasts, Wonderbox regularly organizes "dream tester" operations: selected candidates test stays or activities for free, then share their feedback. A great way to enjoy unique experiences while also making your wallet happy.
