This guide explains how to use Gmail’s "+" feature to create unique email addresses for setting up Stripe Connect accounts without needing to create multiple Gmail accounts.
If you already have a Gmail account, skip to Step 3.
Create a Gmail Account
If you don’t have one yet, click here to sign up for a Gmail account.
Understand the Gmail “+” Trick
Gmail lets you add “+” and any text after your email username to create variations that still go to your main inbox.
Registering for Stripe Connect
When signing up for a Stripe Connect account, use the format:
youremail+storename@gmail.com
For example, if your Gmail email address is johndoe@gmail.com, use johndoe+herndon@gmail.com when registering for your Stripe Connect account for your Herndon store.
This allows you to:
Use one central Gmail inbox for all Stripe-related emails
Avoid setting up multiple separate email accounts
