# How do I redirect a response?

Sometimes you may wish to redirect the user to another location, either to an external site or within the store. To do so, pass the URL, **route()**, or an **Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse**instance to the **setRedirect()**method. For example, if you stored the age of customers (computed from their provided date of birth), and needed to prevent access to those under the age of 18:

```
\Aero\Store\Http\Responses\ProductPage::extend(function ($page) {
    if ($page->request->customer()->age < 18) {
        $page->setRedirect('/denied');
    }
});

```

As extension code is evaluated in the order it's added to the response builder, code that runs after this step may override the redirect. To force a redirect and prevent execution of the code that follows in the pipeline, you should return an instance of the **redirect()**helper:

```
\Aero\Store\Http\Responses\ProductPage::extend(function ($page) {
    if (! $page->product->canBeViewedByIp($page->request->ip())) {
        return redirect('/denied');
    }
});

```
