In store settings there's a Opt-in Checkbox feature one can add during checkout. I know it puts a true/false value in some table/report, but what can a site owner do with this? Is there some what to use this with the DNN Newletter feature? or email blast feature in the Shopping Cart? or feed to an eternal email service like iContact? Let me know. Thanks.

The Opt In Checkbox on the step 1 checkout screen will save a true or false to the database in the optin field. This enables you to build a white list of email addresses of customers that have opted in to your email marketing. You can then write a sql query to pull all your customer names and email addresses where opt in is true. This will give you your opt in email list that you can use with any 3rd party email blasting software you like.

OK - seems like it should be a report on the reports page. Does the reports page allow us to save queries beside the canned one that are there now?

Not currently but that would be a nice feature to add.
