Disable product returns feature

hey guys. i just did a post about removing the return links so the customer can't click anything that would trigger the return sequence. it doesn't stop them from reaching it by typing in: www.yoursite.com/index.php?route=account/return/insert

but it will stop most of your customers from trying to use this.

here's the post with vqmod attached:

Here is javabean vqmod with my extra, the feature to redirect to the home page if the user tries to access the return link directly

fueres,

I do not know if you check this thread. I would like to test the file you have attached but do not know where to put it. Can you, anyone else for that matter, explain me how to use it? Has ever been any fix made in the latest release to fix this problem? Or more recent solution than this one?

I prefer dealing issues and disputes by email to understand better the issue surrounding a return than to automate from user front. I think, this is very bad feature for digital items. For physical items, as long as the product is not opened and the client sends back the item, it can be relatively secured than giving a digital product once backed up by the client and request a return.

You need to download & install VQMod, then uploade the xml file to this location /vqmod/xml

This works with OpenCart 1.5.6

Thanks for sharing. It's just what I need.... although for me, the mod to redirect seems to download the tpl file instead of redirecting to the homepage. Maybe thats a 1.5.6 issue?

The redirect to Homepage does work nicely with 1.5.6 I wasn't using a URL, I was actually navigating to the template file.

Anyone know if there is a VQmod that does this same functionality for 2.0?

4 YEARS later and this is still not possible to turn off from adminpanel. WHY?
Also other features like the "Afilliate" etc. should be possible to turn off!

2015 and i cant even fix this problem, they need to just make a god damn button in the modules to remove it

delete it.
<li><a href="<?php echo $return; ?>"><?php echo $text_return; ?></a></li>

2017 and we still can not disable returns. Is this supposed to be a joke???

I delete it, but it still shows. any other solutions?

there are several free and paid mods to do that
