BARE and their maddening complexity
I only do shops on the Sassie side (or apollo as I was corrected before). I don't like the things offers on ISS.
Yes, of course it makes logical sense to pay thru 1 method regardless of what platform the shops were completed on. If you get a response as to why they do things differently between platforms even though it's the same company, please let us know what the response is.
I never really did much for them before 2024. Then I started to do more with 2024 and 2025. i'm sad about Sassie/apollo going away.

Ok, so BARE offers jobs on the ISS platform, and on SASSIE, and now evidently on Shopmetrics. If you accept one of their jobs offered on ISS, you get paid on a different schedule than a job offered on SASSIE. For the ISS jobs they pay you via PayPal. For the SASSIE jobs they use Tipalti (whatever that is).
Has anyone had any conversations with anyone at BARE regarding this madness? I would be very interested to hear what they have to say and if they have any plans to make their processes more consistent. I just sent an email to an account manager at BARE describing the frustration, but I'm not confident that I'll get any sort of a helpful reply, or any reply at all for that matter.
I guess that I will just have to wait and hope that I get paid and not really know when that will be.
One reason might be that PayPal has iSS as a client? Or some type of payment contract that states any work done thru the iSS platform, PayPal will make that transaction. Likewise, Tipalti might have BARE on Sassie as a client. I think Tipalti was a method of payment before BARE even joined on iSS. They are relatively new (since last summer) on iSS.
Just trying to think outside the box. I personally don't care which method they pay me. After bad and much longer wait times ( *cough* Elite, *cough* Cirrus), BARE is always consistent with their payments, and I'm fine with it.
Bigdaddy,
I don't think Apollo/Sassie is going away. I just think Bare found a less expensive platform to do shops on.
In regards to ISS. It's a platform to complete reports of shops. The MSC still has the ability to pay you however they feel fit.
I actually like ISS shops, but it may be the MSCs I'm doing shops for on that platform. They pay direct deposit on the 15th and the 30th after the shop is accepted. Whats not to like about that?

I'm not saying Sassie is going away...but i'm referring to BARE going away from SASSIE. I much prefer the "oops" with Sassie over shopmetrics. I like to answer most of the yes/no when on the road. I can go back later and write the narrative. So much easier to jump to those sections with the "oops" feature.

Yeah, the oops feature was/is nice. I guess I'm just not doing shops on that platform much anymore.
Here's how they pay:
ISS shops are paid on the 15th and last day of the month, give or take a day. They started using ISS for their low paying projects where they needed a lot of shoppers and needed to reach "new blood" to try and fill the low pay, high volume projects.
All other shops are paid via Tipalti on the 18th of the month.
Hope this helps!
