Creating Email Aliases for SmilyPay Accounts

Aliases with the "+" sign are not accepted 

• ❌ Invalid example: your.email+smilypay@gmail.com
• ❌ Invalid example: contact+owner@gmail.com

✅ What CAN Be Done

Option 1: Create a distinct email address

• ✅ ownername-smilypay@gmail.com
• ✅ payments-owner-smith@youragency.com
• Most reliable and professional solution

Option 2: Use dot variations with Gmail (native method)

Gmail completely ignores dots in the part before @[gmail.com](<http://gmail.com>).

If your address is: firstnamelastname@gmail.com

Then these variations work automatically:

• ✅ firstname.lastname@gmail.com
• ✅ f.irstnamelastname@gmail.com
• ✅ fir.st.name.lastname@gmail.com

Advantages:

• No configuration needed
• Emails arrive directly in the same inbox
• Works immediately

Limitations:

• You can only move dots around, not create new letter combinations

• Some sites may normalize the address and block this trick

   

Option 3: Use a custom domain with Google Workspace

If you have your owns a domain name, you can create real distinct aliases:

• ✅ contact@yourdomain.com
• ✅ billing@yourdomain.com
• ✅ smilypay@yourdomain.com

Advantages:

• Real distinct and unlimited aliases (depending on plan)
• Professional solution
• All emails arrive in a single main account

💡 Reminder: 1 email = 1 SmilyPay account. The phone number can be reused for multiple gateways (it's only used for two-factor authentication).
