No transactions recorded from server-side enhanced e-commerce events based on stripe handler

I am trying to implement transactions notifications to GA property with Enhanced E-Commerce enabled from a stripe events handler written in nodejs. My hits look like so:

v=1&tid=UA-12345678-1&uid=193p6r3o6g1i203d325g181r645bfu1m6ph6&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.example.com%2Fvirtual-pages%2Fstripe%2Fpayment-succeed&dh=dev.example.com&dp=%2Fvirtual-pages%2Fstripe%2Fpayment-succeed&dt=Stripe%20-%20Payment%20Succeed&ua=events-server%2F1.0.0%20(Linux%3B%20Backend%3B%20Service%2Fstorage-api%3B%20Service-version%2Ftests)&t=pageview&qt=610

I replaced some values for lexically similar for security purposes of course. I tried all these variants:

  1. no pageview, transaction and item hits
  2. no pageview, event with products list, transaction details, and pa=purchase
  3. pageview, transaction and item hits
  4. pageview, transaction and item hits,
  5. pageview, transaction and item hits, and transaction details and pa=purchase

I am in sort of despair about this, because I feel that something simple is overlooked, since when I use enhanced e-commerce events, the events themselves arrive at Realtime tab but they does not contain/show the e-commerce properties of course. Basic and enhanced e-commerce features are enabled on view settings. No transactions shown in the reports at all. Even from my tests I run 2-3 days ago in various combinations of hits. I checked my hits with the debug endpoint (/debug/collect) and it claims my hits are valid and no warnings shown.

Solution

  • If you are looking at the data in a normal view (not a User-ID view) you will not see them because the request contains only the uid as identifier, while you also need the cid (clientId).
