The answer

The shop owner made a mistake by putting your phone number on his merchandise and promised to fix the error. If the compensation he gives is a donation from him, there is no harm in accepting it. However, if it is given as an obligation, then it appears to be impermissible, because it is a non-material harm, and taking money will not remove the harm.
