How to track mystery shopping payments across MSCs

Five shops for five MSCs in one week: one pays net-30 by PayPal, one net-60 by check, one “after client approval”. Each portal shows only its own world. Nobody — except you — can see the whole picture.

One ledger, every MSC

1. Add each MSC once, with how they pay and how long they usually take (net-45 is a good default).
2. Log each shop when you file the report: fee, reimbursement, shop ID, time spent.
3. Mark it submitted — that starts the payment clock, and every shop gets an expected pay date.

Let lateness surface itself

An overdue view grouped by MSC, oldest first, tells you exactly who to nudge — with a copy-paste summary listing each shop, its ID, and how many days past the expected date it is. Professional, specific, thirty seconds.

Know your real hourly rate

Log on-site and report-writing minutes and each shop shows its effective hourly rate — fee earned per hour of actual work. After a month you’ll know which MSCs are worth the drive.
