Isn't the email at the top of the form and the marketing checkbox at the bottom? It's an awful dark pattern and makes me want to not use any company that uses shopify.

They require your full address to show you shipping prices as well (vs just letting you estimate with country and postal code alone), so I have to punch in a ton of details before I nope out at awful shipping costs, and I end up with these emails.

No. For Shopify's checkout, it's directly beneath the email input.

You're probably getting the "abandon cart" emails, which is legally considered a "transactional email", and doesn't require consent.
