How to view the city/state/country in google analytice ecommerce tracking?

I want to use google analytice ecommerce for some requirements. So, I used the following code snippet from google.

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-XXXXX-X']);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);
_gaq.push(['_addTrans',
   '1234',           // order ID - required
   'Womens Apparel', // affiliation or store name
   '28.28',          // total - required
   '1.29',           // tax
   '15.00',          // shipping
   'San Jose',       // city
   'California',     // state or province
   'USA'             // country
]);
_gaq.push(['_addItem',
   '1234',           // order ID - necessary to associate item with transaction
   'DD44',           // SKU/code - required
   'T-Shirt',        // product name
   'Olive Medium',   // category or variation
   '11.99',          // unit price - required
   '1'               // quantity - required
]);
_gaq.push(['_trackTrans']);

So with this code sample my transactions are getting tracked.

But in my google analytics profile, I'm not seeing the city, state, country. Though other details like order_id, shipping, etc SKU are getting tracked.

Please let me know if you have any idea on this.

Thanks, Uttam

All other variables within the addTrans method are optional.

  • The affiliate field is not required, and was removed from the Google Analytics Ecommerce reports. You can still use the affiliate field for custom reports and filtering.

  • Tax and shipping appear in the transactions report if you have access to those variables.

  • The city, state, and country are currently not being used by Google Analytics, but the information is still being collected. You can however use these fields within the profile filters if you have a use for them.
