We know WooCommerce has a lot of actions and filters hooks and it’s the power of WordPress. With these hooks, we can solve most of the problems while using WordPress.
In this case, we used a filter hook that is “woocommerce_return_to_shop_redirect”. This hook makes it easy to add a new landing page where users are redirected. To use the filter hook we use the add_filter() function with a callback function that executes the redirect to the desired page.
So we need to use add_filter() in the functions.php file and the first parameter should be woocommerce_return_to_shop_redirect filter and the second parameter is the callback function as shown in the code above.
