Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1264
Hey, hey. Teri here, and I’ve got another update from Alexa Live. And it has to do with other ways that developers are going to be growing their revenue from Alexa skills.
We’ve talked a little about paid skills, we’ve talked about In-Skill Purchasing. And another feature that Amazon just announced is Alexa Shopping Actions.
So what this means, is that, shopping actions that we were all very familiar with, from shopping on Amazon, things like Add To Cart or Buy Now, these options, these features, will be available to skill developers to sell products from Amazon.com or Amazon.ca. within their skill.
So a good example is, there’s a skill that is a game, a role-playing game on Alexa.
They will be able to sell their table top version of their game to users of the skill
And, they will be able to sell their tabletop version of their game to users of the skill if they choose to do so because you can buy the tabletop version on Amazon.
So, once again, is this going to come to Canada the same time it comes to the United States? We don’t know. But again, this is one of those features that developers now have access to and they can start adding in these Alexa shopping actions into their skill experiences.
We will stay tuned and see what this is like. There are lots of opportunities there for developers to grow revenue and, and help the businesses thrive.
So I think that’s a great thing. Alright. As usual, have a wonderful day. We’ll talk to you tomorrow.
