Build An Alexa Skill with In-Skill Purchases - Premium Fact
Adding premium content to your skill is a way for you to monetize your skill. This sample skill has taken the basic fact skill and has added new categories as premium content. This premium content is accessed through either a subscription or the one-time purchase of a given category. This guide walks through the setup of this skill, including the creation of the in-skill products.
Skill Architecture
Each skill consists of two basic parts, a front end and a back end.
- The front end is the voice interface, or VUI. The voice interface is configured through the voice interaction model.
- The back end is where the logic of your skill resides.
Three Options for Skill Setup
There are a number of different ways for you to setup your skill, depending on your experience and what tools you have available - Alexa Hosted, AWS Hosted, ASK CLI. For this Fact Skill, we will be using the Alexa Hosted option.
