1. Redirected To Custom URL :

   function my_custom_add_to_cart_redirect( $url ) {
       $url = get_permalink( 1 ); // URL to redirect to (1 is the page ID here)
       return $url;
   }
   add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', 'my_custom_add_to_cart_redirect' );

   Redirect To Checkout :

   function my_custom_add_to_cart_redirect( $url ) {
       $url = WC()->cart->get_checkout_url();
       return $url;
   }
   add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', 'my_custom_add_to_cart_redirect' );

   Redirect For Certain Categories :

   function my_custom_add_to_cart_redirect( $url ) {
       if ( ! isset( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] ) || ! is_numeric( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] ) ) {
           return $url;
       }
       $product_id = apply_filters( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_product_id', absint( $_REQUEST['add-to-cart'] ) );
       // Only redirect products that have the 't-shirts' category
       if ( has_term( 't-shirts', 'product_cat', $product_id ) ) {
           $url = WC()->cart->get_checkout_url();
       }
       return $url;
   }
   add_filter( 'woocommerce_add_to_cart_redirect', 'my_custom_add_to_cart_redirect' );

3. There may be a way to do this with woocommerce hooks and filters, but after spending some time trying to solve this problem that way, I stumbled across the easy solution which was not entirely obvious at first.

   The Solution:
   Check or uncheck the “Enable AJAX add to cart buttons on archives” button under WooCommerce > Products > Display > Add to Cart Behavior section of the WP admin area.

   That is apparently exactly what this button is for, however, it seems to me that the title of this checkbox is very misleading and is why it took me so long to find this solution. It should probably be changed to something more like: “Redirect to the cart page after successful addition from archive (shop)”. The use of the acronym AJAX is unnecessary and very misleading as to the effect of the checkbox…
