Google Analytics and redirect?

Good day to all.
Situation:
Our service X in its database contains information about the product offerings of online stores. Each product offer has the URL of the page from which we read this offer.
According to the contract, when processing a search request, we transfer to the partner resource Y information about product offers that meet the request criteria. By passing this information, we change the URLs of product offers something like this: service_X_address /goto?target= original_URL_of_product_offer
. We take this transition into account in the statistics and then redirect this user to the original page of the online store with a description of the product offer ( product_offer_original_URL ).
Problem:
The owners of the website of the online store, which the user ends up on, use Google Analytics to track the traffic to their resource. The trouble is that the user's transition from resource Y and the past redirect to service X according to the scheme described above is not taken into account in any way in Google Analytics. As if there was no such transition.
Additional information:
Front of service X is made using the Django framework. The goto command is implemented by usingdjango.shortcuts.redirect
Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

The site of the online store should see that the transition was made from X. And each such transition should be counted.
