Mystery shopper Calgary: FAQ

How much does it cost to hire a mystery shopper in Calgary?

How do I hire a secret shopper in Calgary?

Book online at undercovershopper.ca/book in about 60 seconds. Pick a product, enter your Calgary business address, choose what you want the shopper to pay extra attention to, and pay by card. We assign a vetted local shopper within 24 hours.

Are the mystery shoppers actually based in Calgary?

Yes. We only assign shoppers who live within their stated travel radius of your business, so the person walking into your Calgary location is a real local customer who has no connection to your business. We never use call-center or AI-generated reports.

What kinds of businesses can be mystery shopped in Calgary?

Most often: restaurant, cafe, retail, gym, plus gyms, dental practices, cannabis dispensaries, and other service businesses across Calgary. If you can buy something or be served at your business, we can shop it.

How long until I get the mystery shopping report?

Reports for Calgary missions are delivered within 7–14 days of booking. The shopper has up to 72 hours after their visit window closes to submit; we QA the report internally before it lands in your inbox, with photos and a clear pass/fail on the checks you picked.

Can I tell the mystery shopper what to focus on at my Calgary business?

Absolutely. At booking you choose up to 5 specific things the shopper should pay extra attention to (for example "did they suggest a wine pairing", "was the bathroom clean", or "did the cashier mention the loyalty program") on top of the standard service, cleanliness, and product checks.

Is mystery shopping legal in Alberta?

Yes. Mystery shopping is a standard, legal market-research practice in Alberta and every Canadian province. Shoppers act exactly like regular customers: they buy, observe, and report. They never deceive in a way that creates legal exposure for you.
