Observa is a platform that allows people to earn money by acting as secret shoppers, or Observers. The process is simple: Observers head to stores, take photos, answer a few questions, and occasionally speak to a store associate. Gigs pay between $3 and $25, and Observers can choose to be paid via PayPal or Coinbase. The platform has more than 400,000 secret shoppers, and opportunities are available throughout the United States. Gigs usually take between 10 and 40 minutes, and Observers are notified when there are new opportunities near them.

Observa has been in business since 2016 and works with leading brands like KIND and Morton & Bassett. Observers routinely complete gigs at well-known retailers like Safeway, 7-Eleven, and Walmart. The platform has been featured in publications like Mystery Shopper Magazine, Gotta Be Mobile, and GeekWire. Observers can earn PayPal money or Bitcoin, and the platform uses Coinbase to pay in cryptocurrency. Observa only passes along high-quality data to its customers, and more than 90% of observations are accepted.

Observers can earn money for dinner dates, movie nights, and other special occasions. The platform is a legitimate way to earn PayPal money, and Observers are notified when there are new opportunities near them. While the vast majority of gigs are in the US, Observers can check out paid photo challenges that can be completed from anywhere. Observa has a privacy policy and terms of service, and support is available via email.
