For users of Gmail, I can confirm this works and you can even set it up so that address+nameofshop goes to a folder called “nameofshop.”
You can also apparently add a dot anywhere before @gmail.com and still receive the email. I haven’t tried this one, but the last time I mentioned this someone said it was part of the email standard, so presumably it works.
I don’t know of tricks specifically of this vein for proton mail, but I do know you can setup a catch-all address so, for example, something addressed to invalidaddress@domain.com goes instead to spam@domain.com.
I’ve not tried SimpleLogin, but apparently it offers similar functionality.
I didn’t know that actually. They can still deduce your actual email address from that, but for the identification of the culprit that would work as well.
What about plus addressing which is supported by most major mail services for free? You can just use personaladdress+nameofshop@gmail.com for example.

can confirm, foo@gmail.com works just the same as f.o.o@gmail.com
