[Customer registration] Add marketing consent checkbox(s) to form

[bacounts]

Describe the enhancement you'd like Currently, the customer registration form does not allow for email or SMS marketing consent signup.

Describe alternatives you've considered At a minimum, Shopify's default email marketing consent signup checkbox should be added to the customer registration form. The checkbox is a default engagement feature mentioned in the dev support documentation: https://shopify.dev/themes/customer-engagement/email-consent#customer-registration-form-checkbox.

PS: https://github.com/Shopify/dawn/issues/1627 (add phone number field) could also be worth looking into; this enhancement would allow Shopify's default SMS marketing consent.

PSS: While out of scope for this enhancement, you could also re-use these checkboxes on the cart page and cart drawer and have a section in the customer account under the heading "notifications" to allow for updating consent after an account's creation.

Any updates? I can work on this and make this field optional (to be enabled in the theme customizer). Assign to me if it's not rejected

I'm confused, Shopify's official docs state to use the accepts_marketing field in signup forms (https://shopify.dev/docs/themes/customer-engagement/email-consent) but for the API it seems to be depreciated https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-rest/2023-01/resources/customer ...

Should we be doing fields such as:

  <div class="accepts-marketing">
    <input type="hidden" name="customer[email_marketing_consent]" value="false" />

    <input type="checkbox" name="customer[email_marketing_consent]" />
    <label for="accepts-marketing">Subscribe to email marketing</label>
  </div>

Or will that not even work?
