I'd like a complete list of all the various non-hack ways to get money from Generation 6 forward and I'd like to know if any of them stack.

Rebattling and sweeping the Elite 4 and Champion with a Pokemon holding the Amulet Coin is a pretty good way to make phat stacks, if you're good at Mantine Surfing in Ultra SM I'm pretty sure you will be rewarded with big pearls, pearl necklaces, ect. Things you can sell to a shop for a high price.
I should have been more specific. I meant stuff like items, moves, abilities, etc. Again, I'd like to know if any of them stack.
I know that pay day, amulet coin, luck incense, make it rain, and g-max gold rush all grant extra money, but I don't think that any abilities do.
Only answer if you can fully encompass every method.
Do we believe OP is asking for all methods of making money or only ways of increasing money from battles and such? The title seems to lean towards only in battle situations

Best answer

In the context of this question, "money" is defined as the Pokemon Dollar. Other forms of currency like Battle Points will not be looked at. This answer will address items, moves, and Abilities that boost the money received from a given action (e.g. battling, selling). Unless stated otherwise, all mechanics mentioned will refer to Generation IX.


Abilities

As of the Indigo Disk, there are no Abilities that boost the money the player receives. Pickup is the closest to this: many of the items it generates can be sold for a modest price.

Moves

G-Max Gold Rush: Scatters coins that are picked up after battle. The number of coins is equal to 100x the user's level on the first turn of Dynamax, 200x on the second, and 300x on the third. A maximum of $99,999 may be collected per battle.
Happy Hour: Doubles the prize money collected at the end of the battle, including coins scattered on the ground. It will not have a greater effect if used multiple times in one battle.
Make It Rain: Scatters coins for each target hit: $5 multiplied by the user's level. There is no cap on money collected through this move.
Pay Day: Scatters coins 5x the user's current level. It shares the collection limit with G-Max Gold Rush in Sword and Shield. Coins are only collected if the player knocks out all opponents or uses a phazing move to end the battle.

Held Items

Amulet Coin: If the holder takes part in a battle, the total prize money received is doubled. No other factors (e.g. Klutz, removing the item, being knocked out) will prevent this. It cannot stack with itself or the Luck Incense.
Luck Incense: Refer to the Amulet Coin. It cannot stack with itself or the Amulet Coin.

Other Items

Prize Money Power: A Pass Power and O-Power obtainable in Generations V and VI respectively. It increases prize money by different increments: 1.5x at Level 1, 2x at Level 2, and 3x at Levels 3, S, and MAX.
Roto Prize Money: Triples the prize money received.


Stacks

Many of these methods will stack with each other. A list of these is given below.

G-Max Gold Rush: Shares a counter with Pay Day and stacks with either held item.
Happy Hour: Will double money made from Pay Day and Make It Rain. It stacks with either held item and the Prize Money Power.
Make It Rain: The scattered coins are doubled if any participant held an Amulet Coin.
Pay Day: Shares a counter with G-Max Gold Rush and stacks with either held item. It is boosted by Happy Hour and the Prize Money Power.
Amulet Coin: Doubles the number of coins picked up from Pay Day, G-Max Gold Rush, and Make It Rain. It stacks with Happy Hour and Prize Money Power, but not itself or Luck Incense.
Luck Incense: Doubles the number of coins picked up from Pay Day and G-Max Gold Rush. It stacks with Happy Hour and Prize Money Power, but not itself or Amulet Coin.
Prize Money Power: Stacks with Happy Hour and either of the held items. It multiplies Pay Day's coin output.
Roto Prize Money: The mechanics are still unclear, and it cannot be said with certainty that it stacks with anything.
