Hello, Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

I am looking to start an online store for some art projects/crafts/stickers mostly as a creative outlet for some of my current frustrations.

Since some kinds of people take art way too personally, I want to take precautions from doxxing or being harassed.

What are some best practices for an online shop? Are there any recommended storefronts or something like that? I’m sure there’s a lot of things I’m not even considering.

Any help would be much appreciated, Thanks

Get a P.O. Box for returns/exchanges, so you don't have to give out your home address.

Use a VoIP service if you need a business phone #. Callcentric is cheap and reliable.

Use an email redirect service like SimpleLogin or AnonAddy to create an email account that's just for business, and add it to your PayPal (if you have one & plan on using it) so people don't see your personal email address on receipts.
