Hi guys, I was trying to follow the below suggestion from a Gemini search result from google search, but the checkout.liquid doesn’t seem to exist, any ideas? Thanks!!

To add a “how did you hear about us” field to your Shopify order page, you need to customize your theme code by adding a custom field within the checkout form, usually done by creating a liquid snippet and inserting it into the relevant section of your checkout template; this requires basic coding knowledge or the use of a Shopify app that allows for custom checkout fields.

<option value="Email Marketing">Email Marketing</option>
<option value="Other">Other</option>
