Enable Voice Purchasing in the Alexa App
Start by opening up the Alexa app on your phone and tap on the menu button in the top-left corner of the screen.
Select “Settings” from the list.
Scroll down and tap on “Voice Purchasing”.
Tap on the toggle switch to turn on voice purchasing if it isn’t already.
That’s all you need to do to enable voice purchasing, but if you want to prevent others from ordering items on the Echo, you can tap inside of the text box right above “Save Changes” and enter in a four-digit PIN code. This can be comprised of either letters or numbers, or a mixture of both. Tap on “Save Changes” when you’re done.
Tap on “Edit Payment Method” to make changes.
Select the credit card and then the correct shipping address that you want used for voice purchasing.
Once you’re back on the “Payment Settings” screen, tap the “X” button in the top-right corner to close it out.
After you have voice purchasing set up, it’s time to use the power of your voice to buy things off the internet. All you have to do is simply say, “Alexa, order (product name)”. You can also say something more generic, like “Alexa, order dog food”.
Alexa will then give you the top search result and if that’s not it, you can say “No” when it asks if you want to order it and Alexa will read off the next result. Simply say “Yes” when Alexa reads off the correct item and asks if you want to order it. You’ll then be prompted to enter in your your Voice Code if you have it enabled.
Once the item is ordered, the order details will appear in the Alexa app.
