Honorarium Policy

Our commitment to valuing your time and expertise.

Last Updated: July 7, 2025

Our Commitment

At Doctobuzz, we recognize that your time and professional insights are valuable. Our Honorarium Policy is designed to ensure you are compensated fairly and transparently for your contributions to market research surveys. We are committed to a straightforward and reliable payment process.

Honorarium Information

The honorarium amount for each survey is determined by several factors, including the survey's length, complexity, and the specific expertise required. The exact amount will be clearly stated in every survey invitation you receive, allowing you to decide whether to participate.

Eligibility for Payment

To be eligible for an honorarium, you must:

  • Be a verified member of the Doctobuzz panel.
  • Fully complete the survey in good faith, providing thoughtful and honest answers.
  • Successfully pass all quality control checks embedded within the survey.
  • Not be screened out. If you do not qualify for a survey after answering the initial screening questions, you will not receive an honorarium for that survey.

Payment Processing

Once you have successfully completed a survey and the data has been validated, your honorarium will be processed. You can expect the payment to be initiated within 48-72 hours of completion. Please note that the time it takes for the funds to appear in your account may vary depending on the payment method selected.

Payment Methods

We offer a variety of convenient payment methods to suit our global panel of experts. Options may include, but are not limited to:

  • Direct Bank Transfer (ACH/Wire)
  • PayPal
  • Amazon Gift Cards
  • Other digital gift cards

Available payment methods may vary based on your country of residence. You can select your preferred payment method within your Doctobuzz account portal.

Tax Responsibilities

You are solely responsible for any and all tax obligations in your jurisdiction arising from the honoraria you receive. Doctobuzz does not withhold taxes on your behalf. We recommend consulting with a tax professional to ensure you comply with your local tax laws.
