What to look for in each platform

Platform-specific starting points

Instacart

Collect shopper earnings or payment history for the requested period, applicable tax forms, and matching bank deposits. If a reviewer wants direct verification, ask Instacart support and the reviewer for the current approved route.

Grubhub

Use driver payment or earnings records, any downloadable annual tax documents, and corresponding deposits. Keep delivery earnings and reimbursements or adjustments clearly labeled.

Amazon Flex

Gather earnings and payment activity from the Flex app, applicable tax records, and deposits. Because support paths vary by region, rely on the current in-app Help channel for official documentation questions.

Spark Driver

Collect earnings and payout history from the current driver/payment experience, along with tax records and bank or payout-account statements. Note the payment processor name if deposits do not say “Spark.”

Lyft

Use the driver dashboard’s earnings or payout records, annual summaries or tax forms, and matching deposits. If direct verification is required, follow Lyft’s current official help instructions.

For every app: capture the full context—your name where available, source, dates, and totals. A cropped number without attribution is harder to review.

Combine sources without double-counting

  1. Choose whether the summary uses earned dates or payout dates.
  2. Enter each platform as its own source.
  3. Group figures into complete calendar months.
  4. Check that instant cashouts and weekly payouts are not both counted.
  5. Order supporting files to match the summary index.
