Not everyone needs a complex integration with Tremendous. Sometimes you just need simple tracking - amount, currency, date paid. Done.

Anyone else constantly juggling separate spreadsheets to track who you've paid research incentives to? Or desperately trying to remember if you already sent Dave his £25 voucher?

Not everyone needs a fancy integration with Tremendous or other payment platforms. Sometimes you need a simple way to track who you've paid and when, without the complexity.

Now you can record incentives directly in your study dashboard. Simply add the amount, currency, and date paid directly in the participants tab - no more juggling separate lists or relying on your memory.

Every incentive gets automatically logged in the participant's activity feed, so you've got a proper audit trail without any extra effort.

This is part one of our incentive features - reporting and spend tracking across studies is coming next, but even now it solves the immediate "wait, did I pay them already?" problem.

**How to use it:**

- Go to your study dashboard and click the Participants tab
- Find the "Incentivised on" column in your participants table
- Click "Not set" for any participant you've paid
- Enter the amount, currency, and date paid
- The payment will automatically appear in their activity feed
- You can edit it and delete it if you need to
