Unifying non-interactive transaction with user session

[Alex Whittaker]

Quick question before the vault door closes! I've put this on stack exchange as well but I think it's worth pushing more widely:

On a purchase I am sending the following to GA:

{
    "v":1,
    "tid":"UA-XXXXXXXX-1",
    "ds":"cloud",
    "an":"App Name",
    "aid":"com.example.appname",
    "ni":1,
    "uid":"AXUflYS8x3",
    "geoid":"",
    "uip":"",
    "t":"transaction",
    "ti":"1000000181XXXXXX",
    "ta":"apple",
    "tr":1.49
}

As per the transaction documentation it looks like only transaction relevant data should be sent and the user documentation is not very specific about which events it should accompany.

Regardless - the event does not seem to unify with any session and as it is being sent from the server (hence the non-interactive ni tag) we are getting no useful data on country, device etc.

So what's missing? How do I unify the transaction with the events that are sent from the client that have all of the interactive event data in them?

Cheers.
