YouGov Shopper SMS Verification

For the panel app where you scan and report your shopping, get the YouGov Shopper SMS verification code on a virtual number and keep your own number private.

YouGov Shopper is the consumer panel app of research company YouGov PLC, in which households across Europe regularly report what they buy. Purchases are recorded by scanning products, adding items without barcodes by hand or photographing receipts, and participation is rewarded. The app is open only to registered panellists, and phone verification confirms each account belongs to a real household.

With a virtual number you enter the temporary number, type in the code, then sign in and start logging purchases. This suits panellists who prefer not to share a personal number with a research panel, or who report a household's shopping from a separate device. Anyone not yet on the panel must apply first via shopper.yougov.com.

Rewards and household details sit in your account, so if a number-based re-check is ever needed, a temporary number could make collected rewards harder to reach. Enter information honestly and completely, as panels can spot inconsistent entries and end a membership. Ignore messages in YouGov's name that ask for money or card details.
