How to Change Redirect After Email Verification in Laravel 8?

One of the common tasks when working with Laravel authentication is managing user redirects based on specific conditions, especially following email verification. If you've encountered a scenario where you need to redirect users to different pages after they verify their email, you're not alone.

In this post, we’ll discuss how to customize the default redirect behavior in Laravel 8 after email verification, specifically in two conditions:

Redirecting users to a checkout page if they selected a plan during registration.

Redirecting users to the dashboard if they did not select a plan.

Understanding the Problem

After a new user registers and verifies their email, the default behavior in Laravel is to redirect them to the homepage. However, depending on the user's registration flow, you may want them to go to a specific location instead. This can improve user experience by continuing their journey seamlessly.

The Requirements

User Selected a Plan: If the user registers by selecting a plan from the home page, after verification, they should be directed to the checkout page.

User Did Not Select a Plan: If the user simply signed up without selecting a plan, they should be taken to their dashboard.

Implementing the Solution

To achieve this customized redirect behavior, here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Define a Constant in RouteServiceProvider

Navigate to your RouteServiceProvider.php file located at app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php.

You will need to define a new constant for your desired redirect location (such as the checkout or subscription page).

Step 2: Update the VerificationController

Now, move on to your VerificationController.php found at app/Http/Controllers/Auth/VerificationController.php.

Change the existing redirect property to use the newly created constant instead of the default home route.

Step 3: Customize the Redirect Logic (Optional)

If you want even more control, such as redirecting based on the user's previous actions, you may want to override the verified method in the VerificationController.
