We are excited to announce that we are expanding in-skill purchasing (ISP) capabilities internationally, starting with the UK, Germany, and Japan.

Building a monetized Alexa skill just got easier. You can now add in-skill purchasing (ISP) directly from the Alexa Developer Console.

If you have published a monetized skill, ensure you optimize your upsell strategy to help drive more customers to your premium content.

We are excited to announce the release of consumables. Consumables are in-skill product that customers can purchase, use, and then purchase again.

We are excited to announce the worldwide release of Alexa Settings API, which you can use to build skills that reference a customer’s preferred time zone and units of measure for distance and temperature.

The Show Mode update allows US customers to use their Fire Tablet as an Echo Show. The Show Mode Charging Dock props up the Fire Tablet while charging and defaults to Show Mode, allowing for even greater ease in hands-free use of voice-first skills on Alexa-enabled devices in the US.
