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

If your volume is low probably some managed service that handles payments and searchability for you. Like etsy, but I'm not sure if etsy is actually good (anymore?)
