By default, Magento 2 provides us with a feature, that allows redirecting the customer to account dashboard after logging in, you can enable this feature by going to Stores → Settings → Configuration → Customers → Customer Configuration → Login Options
Set the field named "Redirect Customer to Account Dashboard after Logging in" to Yes
This feature is working perfectly, however, Magento 2 doesn't support to redirect the customer to a particular page after logging in, if your project requires to use this feature, today I show you the best codes to complete your task.
So what will we do in this practice?
- We will create a new module called PHPCuong_CustomerRedirecting
- We will create an additional field saves the custom page in the configuration
- We will use the event named customer_login to redirect the customer to that custom page after logging in successfully
