Add-to-cart redirection to cart or checkout

Redirects all successful add-to-cart actions to the cart or checkout page. Sample code sends to checkout only when the cart total is zero or is the first product being added to the cart. Option to only perform this when coming off a single product page.

Category: Tags: , , , , , , , , , 
add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', function( $wc_cart_url ) {

	// Check Cart Total
	if( isset( WC()->cart->total ) && WC()->cart->total == 0 ) {
		return wc_get_checkout_url();
	}

	// Return
	return $wc_cart_url;

} );

Or, for redirecting from product pages only (not from shop or category archives):

add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', function( $url ) {

	if(
		! empty( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] )
		&& strstr( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], '/product/' ) !== false
	) {
		return wc_get_cart_url();
	}

	return $url;

} );
