Ability to Disable Customer Account

[QuickRon]

For B2B merchants, it would be extremely helpful to be able to temporarily disable a customer account and make it inactive ... similar to the "Active" checkbox for products. There are times, for various reasons, that a customer account needs to be placed on Hold status and not allow them to log in and/or place orders.

Unless there's a 3rd party module for this already??

Thank you for your consideration.

You could do something like this:

On OPAY or OSEL, probably at the top of the page after global_header


<mvt:do file="g.Module_Feature_CUS_DB" name="l.success" value="Customer_Load_ID(g.basket:cust_id, l.settings:myCustomer)" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:myCustomer:email CIN '[email protected], [email protected],'" />
<p> sorry, your account is currently locked</p>
<mvt:item name="hdft" param="global_footer" />
rest of your template code to </html>


<mvt:else>


then put </mvt:if> at the end of the template.

Not sure if :email is the actual variable name returned by the function so you might need to check the token list

Thanks Bruce!
But I'm referring to a way that the customer account can be disabled in the admin and prevent the customer from even logging into the site.

QuickRon until that feature exists why don't you prefix their email login with a few ___ or something. That will kill their login and you'll be able to find them when you want to put them back.

Great idea and workaround!! Thank you, Colin!
