Hi, I’m looking to add a checkbox to my Shopify account sign up page where people can choose (or not choose) to receive marketing communications. Is this possible?
I’m on Woodstock theme. URL: https://leadingsolutions.net.au/

Topic summary
Goal: Add a marketing opt‑in checkbox to the Shopify account sign‑up page (Woodstock theme) so customers can choose to receive emails.
What was done:
- Advised to edit theme code (section/main-register.liquid) and insert a checkbox/label near the email field. A code snippet and screenshots show where the element was added.
Current result:
- The checkbox displays on the form and “worked” visually.
- Open question: how to actually subscribe the customer and mark their profile as “subscribed” (i.e., connect the checkbox to Shopify’s marketing consent/accepts marketing). No native code solution was provided in-thread.
Alternative proposed:
- Use the Customer Fields app, which includes a “Modern” form template with a built‑in “accepts marketing” checkbox. The app syncs with Shopify (metafields/tags) and can be used with a CRM.
Notes:
- The shared code and screenshots are central for implementing the visual checkbox.
- No confirmation that the theme-only approach updates Shopify’s marketing status.
Status: Partially resolved. Visual checkbox added; functional subscription marking remains unresolved unless using the third‑party app.

customize your theme. Swich to edit code model, find the “section/main-register.liquid”

{%- if form.errors contains 'email' -%}
{{- 'icon-error.svg' | inline_asset_content -}}
{{ form.errors.translated_fields.email | capitalize }}
{{ form.errors.messages.email }}.

Ok thanks that worked, but how do you make it so it actually signs them up to emails and marks their profile as ‘subscribed’ ? Thanks,
Hello 
I know I’m late to the party but I just came across your post.
Customer Fields comes with an out-of-the-box form template called “Modern” that has a built in “accepts marketing check box.” Our app also works with Shopify’s native metafields and will tag customers accordingly for quick reference later or to be used with your CRM.
I hope this helps.
