"Backed by actual platform data. Accepted by lenders."
Use Shopify's generator if you run a store with genuine payrolled staff and need a conventional employment-style payslip for wages you have actually paid. It is free, takes minutes and produces exactly the layout an employer document is expected to have. It is the wrong shape when you are self-employed and need to evidence platform earnings, because a document built from figures you type is increasingly not what lenders and landlords will accept.
