Stop guessing whether a mystery shop was actually worth your time.

The Mystery Shopper Profit & Payment Tracker by LevelUp Mystery Shops is a comprehensive Excel tracking system designed specifically for mystery shoppers who want to stay organized, monitor payments, track expenses, and understand what they are truly earning from each assignment.

Instead of keeping shop information in multiple notebooks, emails, calendars, and spreadsheets, this workbook gives you one organized place to manage your mystery-shopping business throughout the year.

The workbook also includes a Payment Dashboard, Monthly Summary, Company Scorecard, Route & Mileage Reference, Company Setup, and Equipment ROI Tracker to help you see the bigger picture of your mystery-shopping business.

Know What You Actually Earn

A $30 shop does not necessarily mean you earned $30.

Once mileage, travel time, shop time, and out-of-pocket expenses are considered, your actual profit may look very different. This tracker automatically calculates key profitability information so you can make more informed decisions about which shops and mystery-shopping companies are worth your time.

Easy-to-Use Design

White input cells show you exactly where to enter your information, while lavender formula cells calculate automatically. Important formula cells are protected to help prevent accidental changes.

The workbook also includes four fictional sample shops in January and February so you can see how the tracker works before entering your own assignments.

Designed for Independent Mystery Shoppers

Whether you complete a few shops each month or work with several mystery-shopping companies, this workbook can help you create a more organized system for tracking assignments, payments, mileage, time, and profitability.

Track More Than What the Shop Pays. Know What You Actually Earn.
