I am a UK developer and I'm trying to test a "en-US" skill which will be deployed in only the US using a US amazon developer account but where I told the truth about my UK address. When I try to test the skill I get an error that I am in the wrong country and cannot access In-skill Billing.
Do I need to create another US account with US address? Please let me know how you are checking for the country. I would like to test my skill with purchasing functionality.
Hello, thanks for posting on our forum! Yes, in order to test your skill you need a US account with a US address. You can have a look here for more information: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/devconsole/test-your-skill.html#h2_register
I can't still understand from the reference that you have given. What exactly is the reason for developers residing outside US not being able to test In skill purchase. And what is the solution for the same? Could you please explain that in detail?
Hello! Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Developers residing outside the US can test their ISP skills as long as they select as preferred marketplace in the Amazon account settings one of the countries where ISP is available:
Please also note that back in February ISP was not available in the UK yet.
As a side note, you can use the Alexa Simulator to test ISP. By using the Alexa Simulator, you do not need to create an account for a user for each of these regions.
You can find more details here: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/in-skill-purchase/isp-test-guide.html
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Thanks,
Claudia
