Required email address on checkout screen in the online store

[bbest]

Why is it required for a customer to enter their email address on the checkout screen of the online store?  Is it related to receiving a receipt?  If we don't want to collect emails, is it an option to turn that field off?

Hey there, @bbest - 

Correct -  it allows the customer to receive the receipt. Unfortunately, there isn't a way to turn off or remove the field. 

I can tag this as a Feature Request for our Product Team, if you'd like. 

Thank you!
