I'm looking for a way to redirect my users to an external success or failure page based on the status of some operations. But no matter the method I use, every redirect is made under the same domain.
For example, I'm trying to redirect my users to success.com but they are redirect to https://app-domain/success.com. I used router.push, router.replace, I even used window.location.href and window.location.assign and I get the same result.
The format of the redirect url can vary so, but it is always a valid url (https://success.com, success.com, www.success.com) and I just want a simple to redirect to that URL (not under the domain of the nextjs app)

router.push(“https://url”) works for me. Also your nextjs version

yes sure. the problem is, with the http(s):// form it wors but I want it to work for pretty much every form and I don't know why it doesn't even when I use window.location

My code is nothing fancy, it's just this
That's all but It works only for https:// form of urls and I want to know if it's a normal behavior. To me, I can just write window.location.href = url.com and get redirect to url.com
window.location.href = redirectUrlThat's all but It works only for https:// form of urls and I want to know if it's a normal behavior. To me, I can just write window.location.href = url.com and get redirect to url.com

Yes it is normal behaviour.
https needs to be there, I’m unsure about http

Hmmm so my url should always be formatted that way if I want it to work ?
