Shopify to Acquire Delivrr for $2.1B

Love the Shop app. But one major compliant is that there is no email verification. So I get notified of every order that accidentally used my email address (common Indian name @ gmail.com). Wish I could only be notified of orders that I placed.

Someone needs to solve the (common Indian name @ gmail.com) problem. Preferably, Google/Gmail would solve this. But my email gets signed up on a daily basis to new services.

I’ve got that problem too with my username minus the “the” at gmail. It’s so annoying.

Stopgap solution until they fix it: change it to name+shopify @ gmail

You might need to make it more unique if someone else had that idea.

The problem is that some rando is using his email.

No it seems like the name is just common, so someone else mistypes their own email and it then becomes common indian [email protected], which is actually OP's email

I actually have people use my gmail.com like this. Someone even signed up for facebook with this. I accidentally clicked 'yes' like an idiot and then it took months before they'd let my email off the bloody account.

Everyone uses my (real first name / not my middle name) email for all sorts of receipts. I've received African tenant agreements, some dude's Intel payroll document, all sorts of shit.

That's pretty funny. Sorry for the trouble. This has literally never happened to me. There are two other Arthur Collé's in the world, hopefully the booby traps work and I become the one true king one of these days

Yup. Email receipt. Tracking information.
