Legal address and phone number on website

Hey guys,

Pretty much, it's a newbie question but I don’t find many info about it.

So my webshop is basically ready but I'm concerned about the customer trust, especially as I don't know if I should put an address and a phone number on the website. I want to try out the whole dropship idea, so I definitely try to avoid spending too much money upfront.

These are my thoughts:

Address:
Providing an address is quite important in my opinion but of course, I don't want to put my private address.
The customer should see that my shop exists legally. I live in Europe. Are there possibilities to get a business address officially? Is Estonian e-residency something that can work? If not, should I just fake an address until I have the first sales and prove that my shop works.

Phone number:
I don't want receive phone calls :D I guess I shouldn't provide a phone number. Instead I think about a live chat window, it’s something at least. Any ideas on that one?

I'm happy to hear your opinions!
 
For the phone number, get a google voice number that will take messages and forward an email to you when you get an incoming call.
As for the address, look into renting a mailbox in your neighborhood.
