Are you get getting shopped Approved by IPSOS this weeks?

I have like 29 shops from Sassie and 1 from Presto submitted between the 6th and 10th all from IPSOS and all just sitting as "completed"....which has never happened to me before. Anyone else have similar situation?

I stopped doing their blue and yellow stations when it took 14 days to edit five shops. Then, the editor got snooty and hateful with me.

My latest batch of 7 nicely bonused Famous Highway gas station visits were all processed within an hour or so of them being submitted. One needed clarification, so it's still showing as Completed after I updated the report.

Now we wait to see if any hit the current pay cycle. I had one that I submitted while onsite on Thursday, so I'm guessing that one will. Keeping my fingers crossed on the others.

Have synthesizers, will travel...

I did 11 red and yellow gas stations on presto last sat, and they were all approved with next day or two, than two days later I did one more red and yellow, that one just been sitting til today. Very weird.

I thu presto doesn't have billing cycle like Sassie but I guess I may be wrong

One thing I noticed is that for Sassie platform they do approve shops quicker if it's closer to the cut off time of paid cycle, and for any shops that submitted a day or two after the cut off time it usually sits longer....but I rarely get anything that sit for a full week

I did a shop on vacation in Hawaii on 4/30
Just got approved yesterday.

Some of the burger places are done within 5 min, but the chinese places can take up to 10 days.

With Ipsos, the way I understand payments, is if it's approved before the end of day on Friday you will be paid for it on the following Tuesday. With Presto you will be paid on the regular payday after your shop is approved. Presto pays on Monday and Thursday (I'm sure about Monday, not sure if the payday at the end of the week is Thursday or Friday, I've been paid on both days in the past).

On Presto, most of the gas station shops say that there could be a delay in getting them edited and processed. I think they say 5 - 10 days. So if you do a gas station, whether it's on Ipsos or Presto, it's going to be about the same amount of time before you get paid.

Do 5-10 days for editing and processing apply to all shops across all platforms or only gas station shops?

Kise,

Ipsos used to guarantee that you would get paid for any shop you did within 3 weeks. But that doesn't hold water anymore. What is observable, is that if your shop, ANY shop, is edited and approved before the end of the day on Friday, you will be paid for it on Tuesday (sometimes Monday), except the two to three times of the year when they blame PayPal for not getting their payments out, then we get to wait, usually about a week, to get our payments. That applies to ALL shops, Sassie and Shopmetrics.

Presto is NOT Ipsos, but Ipsos does have insta-shops on Presto. On Presto they say that you will be paid 5 - 7 days after you complete your shop. But on the gas station shops they put in a disclaimer, you'll see it when you try to sign up for one of them, it says there may be a 5 - 10 day delay before it gets edited and approved.

For a long time I thought that Ipsos owned Presto, but the folks on the forum say that isn't true. Ipsos is, by far, the biggest user of Presto's Insta-shop program.

I believe that Presto is owned by the same owners of Sassie.

If I were an editor and had to look at narratives similar to this thread's title, I'd put off editing them for as long as humanly possible.

Holy crap!

Mostly accurate, but sometimes the fudge works in the shopper's favor.

Just finished a round of bonused Famous Highway gas stations. Reports were entered Saturday morning. All but one that required clarification have been Received and are showing as Payment Pending. My most recent Ipsos payments have been showing up on Mondays. We'll see if this latest batch hits today.

I believe 14 days might be quick. I am getting paid tomorrow for some April shops.
