It doesn't matter when you did the shop only when they edit it.

I have three lingering on the shop log as "received"...from 5/26, 5/26, and 6/9, respectively (as of 7/14, the thop for 6/9 is marked "Payment Pending"). These three are still unpaid and IPSOS is a NIGHTMARE!

Usually this is the case, but right now they are about 2 weeks behind. Editing complete, shops in "Received" or "Payment Approved" depending on the platform, but payments are 1 -2 weeks out from this date. Some are reporting even longer timeframes to get paid. They will pay, but these days they will pay late. Your call if that works for you.


IPSOS is a $3B company, so whatever excuse the make, or rude comment they retort with when you inquire as to status, is 100% fabricated. They have the cash to pay on time, but are simply holding on to it.

Any panic this week? I have issues with Ipsos but payment is not one of them.

Mine today were from a range of 7 to 5 days ago. Again, early payment in my case. And received even earlier. No complaints here.

How does everyone check which shops are being paid? I can never tell and my deposits are always less than what I’m expecting

We got paid what we were "expecting". Different contracts with different editing teams grade faster or slower depending. For example, The red and blue station with "every single branded gasoline pump" pictures tends to grade faster than some others. Early in the contracts they tend to take longer to grade. However, I did see a massively bonused "drive-in" park-and-eat shop take a long time. To be honest I thought they were just holding the money. The way it is "supposed" to work (obviously we can't "always" depend on 'supposed-ta" ) is everything that is graded/edited by
Friday at 5 PM should technically be paid out on Tuesday. I honestly think some editors are more on the ball than others, and I honestly think that IPSOS sometimes "hides" the editing until they get paid by the client before they even let you know it's graded. I seriously doubt they would allow an editor to get 3 weeks behind without repercussions. We can't be late with our surveys I doubt they can be "late" with their editing, I'm sure they have deadlines too! Basically, until you see a grade or accepted your shop is still pending. If you open a completed shop and you can "view" the survey you completed (far right tab) then it is not accepted and ready for payment..

Burton- you can see how much you were paid and on what date in the filter for "finished" shops. I myself keep a spreadsheet with expenditures and expected amounts, etc. I highlight the line items as they are paid.

I do the same, I highlight them in GREEN once they are paid. For some I even put the dates I expect to be paid, especially the ones that pay the following month.

Interesting how everyone got paid on the 17th this week but I did not. I only had two shops that I expected to get paid for that were done and reviewed on the 12th. The rest of mine were done on Friday and over the weekend so I expected those would come next week. But the ones from the 12th... they were short, quick jobs and should have been paid. I won't stress but I can still be annoyed.

I sometimes need to figure out what has been paid by process of elimination of the shops that are still pending or approved, but still showing on my list of shops completed or to be completed. Then I know the ones that aren't showing up are the ones included in the payment. Of course, you need to know which shops those are and I use my own log for that. A few days after payment, or maybe the day after, you should be able to view the payment statement on their payment page.
