Thanks.")* Hi, HikaShop has a mechanism to automamtically redirect the user to the user control panel if someone already logged in tries to Access thé registration form. This is done in the controller of the registration form. So supposing you're adding your code in a view override of the registration form it's normal it doesn't do anything as the controller code runs before. What you would have to do is to implement joomla's onAfterRoute event in a system plugin to add your code before the controller.

I believe I understand about 95% of your explanation, which should be enough to build a working plugin and either solve the issue or come up with more relevant questions. As a suggestion, the ability to override that redirect destination would be a useful Hikashop preference setting. Thank you for your guidance.
