"Shiplap is commonly pine or cedar, but it can be found in many other types of wood as well — something to consider if you are staining your material. Shiplap is sort of rustic, sort of raw and sort of looks like it should be installed outside rather than in. So it makes perfect sense, at a time when sliding barn doors are all the rage, that shiplap is a hot choice for cladding interior walls and ceilings. But what is shiplap? How can you spot it and where might you use it?" Read the details here: https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/69192496/list/what-is-shiplap
I purchased 1/4" thick plywood cut into 4" strips to make the faux shiplap look. I used nickels for my spacers

I have seen it done with actual shiplap, leftover hardwood flooring, barn wood, etc. check Pinterest for ideas.
