Etsy unfortunately has no option to integrate bitcoin payments, better chances with shopify, but you need to also run your own BTCpay server. Probably worth to experiment with WP and Coinos.. open source, hassle free... you just pay for a web server.
You could try nostr instead! To publish products, I particularly like Coracle and Shopstr that would broadcast the items in multiple relays.
For the shipping/privacy, PO should work. Another option is to get a warehouse that also manage shipping on request. Otherwise, to start with, maybe just better handle orders and shipping manually until there's enough volume to scale.
Thanks. I like the idea of nostr. Of course, explaining nostr might be as difficult as explaining bitcoin, but maybe it's worth it.

fwiw, I gave the above WP / Coinos plugin a whirl and it works great. Pretty painless way to start accepting lightning. Coinos is custodial, but if your family member gets a big enough balance, they could always boltz swap to the chain (or sell the sats to you). Happy to go in to detail if it is helpful.

BTW, you don't need to use bolts swaps if you use @coinoswallet. They have a built-in functionality that allow you to cash out onchain when a certain amount is reached.

start from the easy part, nostr! At some stage, the question on how to get paid will rise 😁
