❓ 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?

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.

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.

I am very happy with this app overall. The pay is fast, mine comes same day most of the time, however the down side is taking multiple pics within the app. It is slightly difficult only because you have to scroll back and forth, in and out if the actual camera.. It would be better for me if there was a multiple photo option to just keep snapping.

This rating is for the app itself and not for the quality of the opportunity to make money. As far as an app goes, it's great. You can move about it easily, instructions and examples are clear and numerous, and the staff is responsive. Everyone has their own expectations about the value of gigs, though, and I find the payout to be too low for the effort required. For example, photographing 10 sections of a Target store (including straightening shelf merchandise) takes too long to be worth $6

Really good way to make a little extra cash if your careful picking and choosing the opportunities. I have accidentally chosen some that require a good bit of work. I would occasionally like to speak with a person instead of emails. Much faster and easier when on site. Another suggestion for the Observa app team, the ability to reserve a project would be nice. Overall though a wonderful side gig. And it can be anywhere you are.
