Unless you’re buying a season ticket the only standalone London Travelcards are Zones 1-6 and Zones 1-4. The former comes in both Anytime and Off-Peak versions; the latter as Off-Peak only.

Isn't the Zone 1-4 Day Travel card Anytime only not Off Peak only?

Yes, the perils of multi tasking! The key point still stands though; there are only three of these non-season Travelcards now (there used to be more).
As far as I'm aware they're not available as a standalone product via any retailer. Instead you just buy them as part of a ticket. For instance whenever I want a London Travelcard I usually go to Transpennine (other retailers are available) and search for a random journey between Amersham and London Terminals and that will then retail an Off-Peak Travelcard (with validity all the way to Zone 9) for £14.30 (£9.40 with railcard). If I did just want Zones 1-6 rather than 1-9 I might buy from somewhere like East Croydon instead. These have all the usual delivery methods available though normally I'll just book it whilst on my way down to London and then collect from a Kings Cross TVM.

You could just pay as you go with a contactless bank card? You'll be capped at less than the price of a Travelcard.
That surely depends on what the OP is doing? If they're intending to ride around the system a lot without exiting/entering many stations they'll end up with maximum journey charges!

The destination is London Underground Zone 1-6 (425)
That just gives you a single doesn't it?

You need to specify return and the return date needs to be the same as the out date
I buy them regularly from Milton Keynes

This. It works fine. As gordonthemoron says, search for a return journey with an origin station within zones 1-6 (or 7-9), and London Terminals as the destination. Select an Off-peak Day Travelcard from the tickets on offer.
(And don't expect to be able to pick it up from Amersham or any other LU station with LU ticket machines!)
